Downing Street officials are preparing a “media plan” to announce the eventual passing of Larry the cat.
Larry has become a widely loved fixture of Downing Street and is often seen outside the door to Number 10 during major political events and news broadcasts.
The 17-year-old ‘chief mouser’ is thought to be in his final years, having already outlived the average lifespan for a tabby cat.
While one source said that, at present, Larry is “doing OK”, another said: “We felt it had to be handled so sensitively.”
An extra fun fact:
The cat, who was adopted from Battersea Cats Home, was first brought into Downing Street by David Cameron as a pet for his children and has since outlasted five prime ministers.
