We the undersigned believe that upon his eventual retirement - or sooner if possible - Larry the Cat should have his portrait added to the Downing St staircase, or even be knighted (maybe as Sir Laurence T. Cat) or given a Lordship (Lord Larry of Downing Street?)

We think this should be not only for his services to the cabinet as chief mouser but as the international superstar and exemplary representative for our country that he's become. But let's not forget his other roles as No. 10 staffer's lap warmer, a press entertainer during slow news days and most of all as the hero of the UK people, being a sound source of sanity and calmness during the chaos of Brexit, regardless of the side of the debate we are on. Larry's advice is very much always a case of "Keep Calm and Sleep On It".
