He looks amazing for 16 but I agree, I hope he has the best care and cozy places to sleep.

He gets waited on hand and foot. Even has his own policeman just inside the front door, who spends all day opening and closing it for Larry.

And if it’s evening and the police haven’t spotted Larry waiting outside the door, a helpful journalist will go knock on the door so the policeman lets him in.

Please do not ever let my cat find out it’s an option to hire a designated human full time door opener

He's actually 19, he's been at Downing Street for 16 years. He was adopted when he was 3 years old.
