Larry the Cat, famously known as the Chief Mouser of Downing Street, has become an internet sensation, outlasting three UK Prime Ministers. The whimsical tweet by RTGame Daniel (@RTGameCrowd) humorously highlights Larry's impressive tenure, suggesting that this feline holds the true power over the country.

Larry's stately appearance in the accompanying photograph adds to his regal persona. The white cat with brown tabby patches looks directly at the camera with perked-up ears, exuding an air of authority. The blurred background, featuring illuminated windows, sets a nocturnal and somewhat mysterious ambiance, perfectly fitting for this high-ranking mouser.

User comments on this post reflect a mix of admiration and humor. One user quipped, "Far more useful and a lot smarter than that s***wit king," while another joked, "The mastermind behind Brexit." Others humorously proposed that Larry should be confirmed as Prime Minister for life by King Charles III, highlighting the cat's longevity and perceived competence.

Larry's role and influence at 10 Downing Street have not gone unnoticed. One user commented, "That's because he actually concentrates on getting rid of the rats," a nod to Larry's primary duty as Chief Mouser. The tweet and the image together paint a picture of a beloved cat who has become a symbol of stability in the ever-changing world of British politics.

This tweet has also sparked debates and comparisons among users. Comments like "Larry vs. Lettuce. Fight!" and "To be fair, a head of lettuce outlasted 2 of them" playfully compare Larry's tenure to the fleeting careers of recent Prime Ministers.

Larry the Cat has indeed captured the hearts of many, proving that sometimes, the true power lies not in the hands of humans, but in the paws of a dedicated feline.

Out of date much? Larry came in with David Cameron. He's seen off 5 British PMs.

Admittedly, outlasting 3 prime ministers could just mean "lived in 2022" these days.

They don't make Prime Minister's like they used to.

From a personal perspective, and considering the quality of UK Prime Ministers over the past 50 years, I would have no objection to Larry being confirmed by King Charles III as PM for life. Naturally, an apprentice mouser to support Larry would also need to be engaged.
