In the past two days, a cat at No. 10 Downing Street in the United Kingdom has swiped the screen on the outer network.
Because it was locked out of the door, the cat had a look, and the guards on the side quickly knocked on the door and let it in.
What is 10 Downing Street? That's the Prime Minister's Office! What kind of god could summon guards at the Prime Minister's Office?

Don't you say, this cat is really not ordinary, people are famous Prime Minister's cats!
The Prime Minister's cat, named Larry, entered the British Prime Minister's Office in February 2011 and became Britain's "Chief Mousetrap Officer" until today.
This "chief mousetrap officer" is not casually said, this is a regular civil service position with a staff and a salary.

Dominating Downing Street for so many years, what is the call for guards, in the "official field", its experience is simply more exciting than the palace fight drama.
Rat catchers do not catch rats
In 2011, No. 10 Downing Street was plagued by rat infestation, and it openly recruited cats to kill rats.
The Battersea Cat and Dog House recommended Larry to the Prime Minister's Office, and patted his chest to assure him that he had developed a good hunting skill in his wandering career and would certainly be up to the job.
After entering the Prime Minister's Office, 4-year-old Larry quickly won the favor of the people, but as the days passed, he did not see a mouse.

Two months later, Larry finally managed to catch the first rat and throw it in front of the gardener.
Everyone finally saw hope that Larry would be able to rectify the rat infestation in the Prime Minister's Office, but this became almost the last time in his career to successfully catch rats.
Since then, it has started a life of eating, drinking and sunbathing every day, what is catching mice? inexistent.
It was even once photographed by a reporter that there was a mouse passing in front of Larry, and it didn't even look at it.
The rat catcher is not working well, and the rat infestation in Downing Street is getting worse, what can be done?
The staff of the Prime Minister's Office had to start hiring outside professionals to help, and officials began to try to promote the good cats and try to replace Larry.
Unexpectedly, although this Larry is incompetent in catching rats, he has a skill in fighting. How could the "chief mouse catcher" give it to a cat at will?
In this way, a palace fight drama was staged in the Prime Minister's Office.

Gong Dou Meow invincible
In 2012, Larry's first opponent came.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time sent his cat, Freya, with ambitions to start a career.
Freya naturally lived up to expectations, frantically catching rats as soon as she came, far exceeding Larry's achievements. (Larry grades?) ）

Seeing that the rice bowl was not secure, how could Larry sit still, and since then he had seen Freya beat him, and although he couldn't catch mice, he could always beat Freya all over his body.
Looking at the injured Freya, everyone was even more distressed about this little pity.
Hand-to-hand combat is useless, how can this be done? The god of luck silently helped Larry, and within a few years, Freya unexpectedly disappeared, and Larry returned to his position as chief mousetrap officer.
Later, Freya's owner searched for it for three years and finally found it, but when he returned, Downing Street had long since lost its place.

With Freya gone, will Larry be able to sit in his seat? No, no, no, where there is a meow, there is a struggle.
In 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also came to a cat named Palmerston, named after the foreign minister 200 years ago, which is not to be said.
Palmerston was very popular as soon as he arrived, not only was he a small expert at catching rats, but he also gained a large number of fans on Twitter, and ambassadors from various countries visited, and he could always see its figure in the group photo.
"Wasn't this all Ben Meow doing before, where did this new Meow not understand the rules?"
Of course, Larry couldn't bear it and began to chase Palmerston every day, but this time was different from that year, Larry couldn't beat Palmerston and became the injured one!
From then on, tangning street can see the picture of the confrontation between the two meows from time to time.

Not long after, things took a turn for the worse again, Palmerston was strictly required to lose weight because he ate too fat, which seriously affected work efficiency!
It's hard to wonder if Larry secretly fed Palmerston fat!

The people of the whole country defend it
Fighting to win all kinds of cats is not nothing, Larry has won the hearts of the british people, there is something, there are everyone to stand up for it.
Someone once mentioned Larry in the article, saying that Cameron actually did not like this cat at all, but had to keep it due to public opinion.
When the British people heard this, they were upset with Larry, and even launched the topic of #SaveLarry on the Internet to denounce Cameron.
This forced Cameron to quickly come forward and clarify: "We are fine." ”
In 2016, Cameron resigned and moved out of the Prime Minister's Office, but Larry remained in Downing Street.
People started accusing him of having a bad relationship with Larry again, "Moving without a cat, admit it, you don't love it at all!" ”
Again, Cameron was forced to send out a picture of them as a sign of innocence.
In fact, "Larry" belongs to the civil service establishment, not to the Cameron family, no matter which British prime minister is, it will continue to wait for the Prime Minister's Office to be its "chief mousetrap officer".
Therefore, the United Kingdom not only has an iron queen, but also an iron prime minister cat!
Although the performance is not good, but to win the competition cat, deeply popular, but also from time to time on the headlines, deservedly "Britain's first cat".
I don't know what wonderful story this Prime Minister cat will bring to everyone next time?
