In less than ten years, this building has seen six Prime Ministers coming and going. But do you know that there is a permanent and official resident of these walls, in front of whom even the biggest rulers of Britain bow their heads?

We are talking about ‘Larry the Cat’, who is the official ‘Chief Mouser’ of the Cabinet Office. Today we will decode this royal journey of Larry and this new chapter of Downing Street.

Keir Starmer’s sudden demise

His party itself had not imagined that the departure of Sir Keir Starmer, who won a historic and overwhelming majority in the 2024 general elections, would happen so soon. Growing internal differences and economic challenges brought his tenure to a premature end. After submitting his resignation to King Charles III on Monday, he is preparing to vacate his official residence.

This building i.e. number 10, which has been the official residence of British Prime Ministers since 1735, is counted among the most influential buildings in the world. The decisions taken within it have changed the geography of the world. But, since 2011, it is not any human being but Larry who is doing the work of closely observing this heavy political history. While Starmer was returning through this door for the last time after hugging his wife Vic, Larry was sitting there waiting for his next high-profile roommate.

The journey of becoming ‘Chief Mauer’

This journey of Larry is no less than a film story. On 15 February 2011, he was rescued and brought here from an animal shelter called ‘Battersea Dogs and Cats Home’. Seeing his amazing hunting skills and ability to catch rats, he was recommended for this work. He became the first cat in the history of Downing Street to be officially awarded the royal title of ‘Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office’. Before Starmer’s departure, Larry had seen the tenure of five different Prime Ministers here and now he is bidding farewell to the sixth Prime Minister.

International media teams camp outside this door every day, desperate to catch a glimpse of Larry. The British public lovingly sends him countless treats and gifts. Larry’s daily routine includes welcoming foreign guests, taking stock of security arrangements and checking the quality of the antique furniture present there by sleeping on it. When British journalists recently jokingly asked Larry what happened to his main responsibility of clearing rats from the building, Larry reportedly replied that the plan was still in the ‘strategic and strategic planning stage’.

Seeing these changing faces, ambitions and this big political reshuffle in the corridors of power, one understands that every position, every chair is very small in comparison to the pace of time. No matter how hard a person tries, he cannot stop the wheel of these changing times.
