Larry, the 17-year-old Downing Street cat, has been described as a 'little s***' and 'the most miserable animal you'll ever meet' by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray. Murray's comments came during a speech to business leaders in Glasgow, where he recounted his unsuccessful attempts to photograph Larry with Labour's new ministers. Despite these harsh remarks, Larry remains a beloved figure in British politics, even rated higher in popularity polls than any serving Prime Minister. Larry has served as Chief Mouser through the tenures of six Prime Ministers and continues to be a fixture at Number 10 Downing Street. The new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has introduced a Siberian kitten, adding to the household's existing rescue cat, JoJo.
