Larry the Cat, a 16-year-old rescue tabby, will continue on as 'chief mouser' at the residence of the prime minister following the election of Keir Starmer.

With the United Kingdom's elections on July 4, Keir Starmer is now set to become the country's new prime minister. But while changes are afoot in the British government, one thing remains constant: Larry the Cat will continue living at 10 Downing St., the official residence of the prime minister, according to the Associated Press.

Larry says is still ‘in tactical planning stage,’' said the U.K. government. Since Larry's appointment as 'chief mouser,' he has caused several 'incidents' with international leaders. In 2019, Larry made headlines when he temporarily blocked then-President Donald Trump's limousine when the cat refused to budge from underneath it. Larry did eventually move. Larry also had a purported rivalry with Palmerston, a tuxedo cat who served as chief mouser of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office until his 'retirement' in 2020. The two were 'often seen fighting' outside, the AP noted. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.
