World-famous feisty feline Larry the cat, who has “ruled” over 10 Downing Street in the past, will have to make room for a rival bundle of fur as newly elected PM Keir Starmer brings his four-legged friend JoJo with him to the official residence.Officials are reportedly «feline» nervous that the residence could face a «cat-astrophe» as the chief mouser is well-known for his territorial behavior and even had a four-year notorious relationship with his former rival, Foreign Office’s Chief Mouser Palmerston, who retired in 2020.Recently, Larry peed in former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s shoe as a farewell present for the outgoing official, reflecting much of British public opinion at the same time.A long string of misbehavior even prompted former PM Boris Jonson to call Larry a “thug” after he beat up his dog Dilyn.Larry has served the Cabinet Office since 2011, living in Britain’s most famous address under six prime ministers. In 2022, he took on and swiftly chased away a suspicious-looking fox. He also has his own social media accounts and was even considered for the 2022 election campaign.
