Larry the Downing Street cat’s best moments

- THE most famous feline in Downing Street, who now has Boris Johnson as his new flatmate, is Larry the Cat.
Larry the Cat took up his position as Chief Mouser of Number 10 Downing Street in February 2011 - a year after the Camerons moved in.
The 12 year old tabby is the first cat at No10 to be given the official title of Chief Mouser.
As such, his day-to-day duties include finding a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house.
Larry says this is still "in tactical planning stage", despite being in the job for over eight years.

The best thing is that Larry has no idea just how famous he is.
Oh he definitely does, I think. But just like any other cat... Larry does not frankly give a damn, _dear_ 😼
Machi Giceb He knows where the real power is in Number 10. 😂
All cats believe they are as famous as Larry.
He’s humble about it.
He knows. He just doesn't give a rat's ass about it.
I like the fact that he looks at to policeman as if to say: mate open the door for me.
finally... i scrolled down too much to find this comment lol
I think you’ll find it wasn’t “mate”, it was “peasant”!
A cat flap would have infringed the Grade I listing,I suppose.
Larry: Some service here, please? Thank you. Took you long enough...
These policemen are actually obliged to open the door for him
I've met Larry (actually though) and I am pleased to report he is very down to earth, not like othe politicians. He acts with grace and treated me no different as a common man. Truly, I think we are in good hands with him.
Larry for next PM!
I met Larry the cat at a charity do. He was down to earth and very funny.
@@cyrildewaha to be honest, he probably would do a better job of being a PM than our current PM
@@Deqoid_123 Coming from a certain Dyatlov guy, I wouldn't be sure😂
very cool
The 'gentle kick' is something every cat owner knows, when you don't have time to let them faff about.
Yep. Oh the hard choices they have to make. To go in or not to go in? :D
Agreed😺
lol, yes, did it all the time. It's just giving them a little nudge to say hurry up. They seem to understand.
Yep, the “touch the hair to encourage moving” kick. Don’t even touch the actual body, just hair lol
@@agnieszkajakubczak2408 Similiar when there was a small rain and he (our late cat) was debating in himself whether to go out or not. Either waited or nudged him. :D
I love how Larry sits on the steps and expects someone to open the door
Don't all cats do that? Basically?
You can't expect an aristocat like Larry to do some thing as peasanty as knocking.
Larry trained them
@@elizabethsohler6516 my late cat did exactly that eventhough he can climb from roof to roof he would wait outside the gate just to get me open for him. 😂
@@ongkhuongduy3498 Now what lowly creature would ever knock on a door that's absurd.
I love how Larry has outlasted 3 prime minister's and hope he outlasts a lot more.
And so far, he's getting more and more support
He has 9 lives, so don't worry
He is the one and only good thing in politics
He’s trying to go on par with the queen.
In Aussie politics, that'd be around a year....
The way Larry sits down and just looks at the policeman - Unmatched! 😂
I’m waiting and I shouldn’t be!!
2:13
"Do I look like I have thumbs to open this door?"
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
that side eye is just brilliant
Larry is single handedly keeping together the whole of britain.
He is the last resort to keep the kingdom together, not the Royal family
Larry is truly uk
Fr
What a hilarious nation we are have trained officers guarding 10 Downing Street only their real purpose is to knock on the door to let a cat in 🤣🤣
Larry secretly has papers proving that he owns number 10 and that he is in fact letting the prime minister and other officials use his home for convenience.
@@seaskimmer cats have own all humans
And long may it continue.
Everyone knows that in every household cats are the boss 😂
Okay ... why do you think we need trained officers guarding 10 Downing Street?
It's not a trick question
The real prime minister of UK
We all wish! lol!
Tisna Dwija probably would do a better job
Summera yes no
He actually is! They just want us to think we are still in control but the cats have been in power for years now!
The conservatives are just puppets of the grand cat.
2:19 I love how the cat and the cop stare at each other
And Larry wins!
Meow
Obama ddnt look comfy with Larry
@@Emdee1234 That's because Larry knows his last name
Best thing about Larry is he treats everyone the same - like his butler.
The only member of parliament that the whole country can get behind
How has this comment got 1.2k likes and not a single comment!?
@@apollo_2023 it has 2 comments now
@@fridge995 gonna keep the bandwagon going

Ren Fitzgerald unless you’re a dog
Ahh, so it's true. Dogs have owners and cats have staff!
Lyle Kliewer except that's not true
Except it is cuz we own cats
That's what people think is cute to think, but reality is we own cats and if we didn't want them here we'd wipe them out.
@@OriginalPuro Funny guy at parties huh?
Tell my puppy that as he wakes me at 5 to sear his breakfast steak.Then warms himself on the puppy warmer (Aga)..then announces his 5.30 am walk.
I LOVE how he trained the security service to just open the door for him whenever he needs to come inside hahaha
It was Margaret Thatcher who started the tradition. She was very fond of the cat during her time as PM. She instructed the police to knock when the cat wanted in. She also bought him a tin of fish when she was in Russia
@@collywobbles1163 Are you talking about the time of Chief Mousers Humphrey and Wilberforce?
Other cats meow at the door for someone to open it. Larry just waits there expecting someone to knock for him 😂
"That would be beneath me"
@@DavidHernandez-oc1oz lol why is this comment so funny to me
I love how Larry will never understand the significance of his house and how much people love him.
likewise
I love Larry!
I can confirm, I have secrets
I disagree. I think he knows exactly how important he is and that's why he gives a bobby a death scare until he opens the door. Larry is aware he owns the man running the UK
Fr
Plot twist: The UK is ruled by Larry
That aint a plot twist
@@nivlemvanviersen8524 yeah that's a fact 😂😂
Classic Mickey mouse teory to make look cats bad 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
Larry and Palmerston were actually fighting over for the position of the true PM of the UK
He has cat informants all over the country... We are being watched and manipulated! Well played Larry....Good thing they can't read... I hope they can't at least.
the fact that uk is the only country that loves cats so much they would establish an official position for them, making them as high as an MP is very exceptional and cute at the same time
JAPAN
you sir have never been to Turkey 😁
Egypt made hieroglyphs with cats and worshiped them
Yes- Turkey and Japan are catophile countries
@@Shek1nah ancient India worshipped them as well.
He literally goes: “be a lamb and push the door for me will ya”
🤣
Love how Larry sits there and is like "Do your duty copper. Ring the bell."
This cat better get a knighthood or something.
All hail Sir Larry of Downing Street
His full name actually is “The Right honourable Larry“, which is a title normally reserved for nobility and members of the privy council only :)
Give him the order of the garter!
Sir Larry Whiskers
Sir Larry Whiskers, Chief Mouser.
0:38
Truly one of the most embarrassing footage caught of Larry, can't believe he'd let himself humiliate himself in public with such a dirty argument like that with Palmerston. And I was beginning to think he'd be a pretty humble guy!
foreign policy is a sensitive matter, even for cats
I blame Palmerston. Some cats just don't know how to behave.
the Cabinet and the Foreign Office have a long history of rough-housing
@@snowmonster42 Me too, Larry is CLEARLY a much politer gentleman. He's clearly a humble cat as seen in other clips smh.
I, for one, am quite offended that my feline leader would behave in such an uncivilized manner. I shall be voting for Mr. Mittens next, in hopes of a more diplomatic leadership.
I love how Larry just accepts that he has door servants..
Dogs have owners, cats have staff
Imagine all the secrets Larry knows :O
imagine
@Willow Cat uP
The reason we know he's not bugged is that China hasn't taken over yet
All the Deals Struck,All the Secret wars waged.
He don't know nothing because he don't wanna know
Larry has outlasted Theresa May in No 10
He'd probably do a better job tbh
He has outlasted many!
oh wow now that you put it that way...
It's important to have stability in government. Prime ministers come and go, but the job of catching mice never ends.
He outlasted David Cameron too.
Larry: It's over Palmerston, I have the high ground!
Palmerston: You underestimate my power!
Larry: Don't try it!
I love how he sits by the door and looks around like "Hello, I know you see me waiting here. Make this door open neow, hooman."
YOU WERE MY BROTHER PALMERSTON!!!
w h y r u e v e r y w h e r e
Larry has now outlasted 5 Prime Ministers.....what a legend
*Obama:* we need to talk about economic reform, terrorism in the Middle East and global security worldwide.
*Cameron:* Larry the cat just looooves his milk.
And JULIAN ASSANGE judicial kidnapping
Sky news are amateurs, milk gives cats diarrhea, you want a cats attention you need dreamies
Obama funded terror
@@shape-shiftingcatandhermin2508 There is a certain type of kitten milk you can give them but they don't like it much and only give them a tiny. I recommend Dreamies too.
lindoncoffee no he didn’t lol
No offense for the brits but larry here is probably a more influential figure than the queen herself and a more uniting figure than johnson or corbyn lol
yanel abdelkader we love Larry more than the entire House of Commons
@@samanthaparsons8833 well you have too he turned out to be better than all of them
yanel abdelkader Larry is pure and honest. He is more than any politician could ever be
@@itzimperiumxvi2620 true 😂
yanel abdelkader
I’ve only just found out about Larry. I’m from Lancashire, ffs.
Imagine being an outside/inside cat and having a doorman to let you in! 😹
Love that other offices also have a house cat 😂 would love to see more of Palmerston as well!
Me too
When I lived in London, I used to work at the Tate Museum where we had Mildred, our Museum cat. She passed recently. RIP Mildred you brought us so much joy
*rip Mildred*
The cat that stayed in the workers gardens area?
I had a cat called Mildred died last year, she was 20. 😢😢
I just got a little cat that i named mildred
I imagine a cat who's name is Mildred
0:38 tensions rise between the ministry and the foreign & commonwealth office
Some urgent meeting about territory is imminent
"there can only be 1 beloved official government issued catto"
Accidental proxy war
- This is quite frankly scandalous! Under your administration, mice infestations have increased twofold on this street. Such bumbling incompetence and lackadasical attitude is unacceptable. I will veto a new policy to have you removed from office as quickly as possible.
What I find truly amazing is that there is a 3 minute video of the 'best moments' of the priminister's cat and everybody bloody loves it! Only in Britain 🤣👏
Don't you just love how the security guard comes out just to lift up and carry Larry back inside no10?
Larry the real PM
PM of cats
Coffémon Larry has been pulling the strings all this time
@James Wegrzyn Whoosh.
@James Wegrzyn r/whoosh
His assistants are attentive and fairly disciplined. Sign of a strong leader.
I am just hearing about Larry. What a sweet cat ! 🇺🇸🐱
I love how Larry and Palmer just talk like any other employees would gossip about their workplace
Larry's funeral will be viewed by 100% of the worlds population.
Larry the cat probably sucks the life force out of people just like Queen Elizabeth.... Larry will be here for a while
They should build him a memorial statue
😢
@@realhuman4396 Cat is a God.
That cat is a Lucky charm for the UK...
I just love how they film his battle with another cat as if it were some live mafia fight, hiding behind the corner just to not get caught.
Adding in the angle to make it more movie-like (or more realistic?) as well lol.
The real player behind the curtain
Larry fights Palmerston all the time. Ever since Palmer retired he really has been the same, probably all the catnip. Drugs man. Itll do ya in
I wonder which policy they were disagreeing on. Remainer v Brexiteer?
Yes, that was Epic.
I truly love Larry from an American cat owner. Larry is beautiful
Larry has everyone trained around him. Great job Larry!
1:43 Larry: "Excuse me, i have a meeting with the Prime Minister."
Well he's probably talking to his deputy since he's the prime minister
Love how everyone is 100%on board with this cat. Makes me smile
What a pleasant fellow I wish him good health
The policeman knocking on the door so he doesn’t have to stand in the rain. What a bloke 👏🏻
When a cat goes in infront of a prime minister it really shows who the real boss of the country is
Best politician in number 10 at the moment
lol
ever!
Larry is more respected & loved by the public than MPs he should be pm
Imagine reading the job description as a police officer there. 'Must let in cat'
The fact the man came out and picked him up like it’s routine 🤣😂 Larry got it easy
It’s so good to know that both Larry and Palmerston are rescue cats from the Battersea home for dogs and cats! ❤️
I love that! Dodie Smith, the author of 101 Dalmations left her fortune to Batterse.
I love when institutions have their inhouse cats. It's the most noble thing!
Larry just looks at the police like they are his personal staff.
That’s because they are😊
Existence on earth is a little bit nicer knowing Larry the cat is around
It’s a cat’s world. And we’re just in it. I imagine if aliens ever landed in England they would try to talk to Larry first, since he’s obviously in charge.
"Take me to your lizard!"
Larry: we cats have waited for you since leaving you've left us in charge... during their times of Pharoahs...my heart fills with joy. Right this way, my lord.
The cat knew he’d knock for him once he looked in his direction 😂
Larry truly represents the best Britain has to offer. Most certainly, he is a true gentleman and the most fluffy Londoner one may meet.
2:10 “excuse me? Do you expect me to open this myself?”
I love that Larry has his own doorman to knock to let him in and another doorman on the other side to open the door!
Larry truly is the house owner.
2:44 Larry was like " Are you done now? "
Britain is crippling under the stress of Brexit
BBC reporters: So heres some milk for larry the cat...
He's probably come out for the next election
Larry on David Cameron: "Hisssss"
Larry on Theresa May : "Hisssssssssssssssssssssssss"
Larry on Boris Johnson: "Purrrrrrrrrrrexit"
Kevin T 😂
May hated more than Cameron? I guess history will be kinder to him.
@New King the fact he resigned after leaving the country in the most chaotic state it's ever been in decades. He called for it so he should have been prepared to deal with the result.
@New King not at all. Theresa May admitted defeat and that there was no point her continuing. If anything she should have resigned earlier. David Cameron ran off before it even started.
New King i think theresa tried but like nobody cbf with her. i loved her. only for the memes tho.
Larry you’re our hero. Love from America
Larry has more brains and sense than most of the recent leaders in the UK.
Not exclusive to the UK😢
1:41 this was like
Larry: *stares at the door* "..."
Policeman: "..."
Larry: *slightly turned his head to look at the policeman*
Police man: "oh! Sorry sire." *Opens the door*
I love how Larry stares at the policeman like "hey Human, do you know who I am? Knock on the damn door"
The policeman didn’t “gently kick” Larry he gently nudged him with his foot.
I love how every government office in uk has its own cat it seems and they beef with each-other. That’s the highest form of culture humanity has ever achieved.
Larry the cat has more fans an respect than any opposition politician !
The reason behind that comment is...
At the time of writing it, 99% of opposition politicians were blocking the will of the people to leave the E.U by voting against every idea, which the majority voted for !
@Ljggd Hhfcv This, tbh
@Jacob S - considering Boris won with an 80 seat majority, some are liked.
@HLA 0302 - well either way, thats good enough for me.
In light of his merely 59-41 no confidence vote, this has aged like milk.
@@gengarzilla1685 like the finest cartons of Tesco's whole milk.
I think he is the only cat in the world that has a personal door-opener 😂❤🐈
every cat has servants - us - even if you don't "own" a cat
I'm a door opener, a tin opener, fridge opener. I expect Larry has more staff than my boys!🤣🤣🤣
*Whenever Larry passes on the reaction will be deeply felt*
*Long live Larry the cat!* 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My friend asked me what I wanted as a present from Britain. I asked for a pic of Larry in his natural habitat.
It took her three days to get a pic. So happy.
Larry has taken control of Boris! Pictures show Larry on the desk with working papers and a prime minister who clearly looks as though he is resigned to the fact that Larry is in charge! Might get some serious work don3 then!
Ha ha ha ha
If a cat really were in charge don't you think things would be going rather better? 😻😹🙀
I always knew there was some Brexit DNA into that cat
Parliament: *Arguing*
Speaker of the house: shows a picture of Larry
Everyone: Awwh
Ok,that's best comment for me!
The power of Larry
1:33
I see Larry has a personal defense team
LARRY is absolutely adorable!!!!! Love from Toronto.
That's a great cat..
Keeping the RATS IN CHECK
Could use more cats in Baltimore
Yep, he's even got an official title of the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office
When a cat is more successful than you…
The way he looks at the policeman to knock on the door for him lol
lo amo a larry , el es todo un príncipe 🥰🥰🥰🥰
LARRY HAS HIS OWN DOORMEN, WHAT A COOL CAT!!
0:35 Larry fights with the Commonwealth Palmerston really described the relationship with commonwealth countries.
No war, but intense.
Truly this the pinnacle of cat power. A cat has an official post in the British government.
I really love how the policeman near the end hesitates before moving from his post fearing he might get fired for a cat. 😂
2:15
I can imagine the whole press corp across the street just politely pointing and silently gesturing to the policeman:
“Larry...Larry...look...let Larry in.”
US news: THE WORLD IS GOING TO END OMG EVERYONE HIDE FOR COVER
Meanwhile in the UK: Larry the Downing Street cat
The policeman at 2:04 was so conflicted about leaving his post to let the cat inside 😂
This cat is a national treasure ❤
I feel that Larry is a very good judge of people.
I'm American and just discovered Larry the Cat! I love him!
Lol, that cat is literally the boss of that street. Sitting in the porch expecting the door to be opened for him
I love how Larry signalled the policeman 👮♂️ to knock for him 😆
South African here.
Its so nice to see the compassionate side of the UK gov. at work.
Make me love the Brits even more
Go Larry - the best Ambassador in the world
I can't stop watching larry the cat, I'm addicted lmao
I love him
Fun Fact: The officer that gave Larry a "gentle kick" was never seen or heard from again. 😉
If every seat of power on the planet had a resident animal companion, I really think the world would be a better place! It'd be lots more friendly & fun, anyway!
