Cop Knocks on British Prime Minister's Door to Let Cat in Out of the Rain

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    [Mara Montalbano] It's this cop's job
  • 0:02 - 0:05
    to keep the British Prime Minister safe,
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    and, while he's at it,
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    help her cat stay dry.
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    [Classical music.]
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    Larry is the resident cat
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    and 'mouser in chief'
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    at 10 Downing street in London.
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    He mostly wanders around outside,
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    greets the guests,
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    and helps the guards
    keep watch over the place.
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    He enjoys the occasional back rub.
  • 0:29 - 0:30
    But,
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    not from everyone.
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    But when rain starts to fall,
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    Larry heads home,
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    and since 10 Downing
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    doesn't have a pet door,
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    he has to wait
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    for someone to let him inside.
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    He gets lucky when visitors
    show up, or leave;
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    but, on this day,
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    the officer standing watch
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    took pity on this kitty,
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    and knocked for him.
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    [Upbeat music.]
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    Others have done it in the past,
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    and it just seems like
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    it comes with the territory
    on this job.
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Larry was adopted from
    a rescue shelter,
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    by former Prime Minster
    David Cameron, in 2011.
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    And he stayed behind
    when Cameron left office.
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    These days, Larry is roommates
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    with Theresa May,
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    and seems to enjoy
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    'photo-bombing' her,
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    as she negotiates
    Britain's exit
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    from the European Union.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    While his country is
    trying to get out,
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    Larry just wants to get in.
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    [Upbeat music.]
  • 1:28 - 1:30
