Larry, the nearly 20-year-old cat who serves as “Chief Mouser” at 10 Downing Street, is recovering well after a minor operation, the British government says.
A video shows him being carried in a pet carrier and later roaming around the prime minister’s residence with a shaved patch on his side.
Adopted under David Cameron in 2011, Larry has since lived through six more prime ministers, become a national celebrity and regularly upstaged visiting dignitaries.
If he doesn't have the highest approval rating of any public servant I want to know who could be more beloved.
