The United Kingdom got a new prime minister Wednesday, as David Cameron resigned and Theresa May stepped in.
But the nation’s prime mouser remains the same: Larry the cat, beloved by the British for his charm … and sloth.
In early 2011, the prime minister’s residence had a mouse problem. Larry was at an animal rescue center that enthusiastically endorsed his mousing skills. It seemed like a match made in heaven.
The former stray arrived at Downing Street on Feb. 15, 2011 — and promptly scratched a TV reporter and got busted trying to photobomb Kevin Spacey. But hey, he wasn’t there for the convenience of the press. He was there to catch rodents!
The only problem: He wasn’t good at killing mice. At all.
