Britain's most popular cat, Larry, was seen going above and beyond his mouse-catching duties outside the prime minister's office this week. The Cabinet Office's longtime chief mouser took on a fox outside 10 Downing Street — and won.
Video of the feline-canine fisticuffs went viral, showing Larry creeping up to the small fox with laser focus. When the fox attempted to hide in a flower bed, Larry pounced and chased it off. Larry, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, poses for his official U.K. government portrait.
According to Larry's official description on the U.K. government's website, he"spends his days greeting guests to the house,"His day-to-day responsibilities also include contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house," the website says."Larry says this is still 'in tactical planning stage.'"
The cat has become so popular that he was even nominated to be the country's next prime minister earlier this year — with a campaign site and all. for next PM. He’s knowledgeable, not afraid to work out his differences with Palmerston, and that’s brand of pawlitics we need in this country.
