And in the USA too! I'd vote for Larry any day over our choices! And Larry has leadership skills- look how they cater to his wanting to go inside or wanting to go outside.! All wrapped around his paw. Unlike American cats, he actually decides and moves whereas American felines will tease their owners by standing in the doorway and lingering for minutes while they decide to go out or not. And Americans are dumb enough to (but loving enough) to allow it.
In journalism and public relations, it's quite common for obituaries and death announcements to be written in advance if the famous person in question is elderly or terminally ill. That way, when the person dies, the PR person or journalism outlet can quickly get the story out. All they need to do is add the date and time of death and some details about the person's final days.
I HAAAATEEE THIS VIDEO. I saw the title and was "NOOOO". Because I had planned to visit UK in 2021 TO SEE LARRY (Yes, I planned to visit just to see Larry). I had to change plans due to COVID at all, I'm hoping to see King Larry before 2026. Sweeett precious boy
Actually, to live 17 years is very much the average life span for a well cared for cat or indoor cats. Its feral cats who usually die at a much earlier age due to untreated disease, fights with other cats, attacks from other larger animals, or get hit by a vehicle. My cat Gracie was strictly indoor and was fed a healthy diet and I kept her up to date on her vet appointments and she lived to age 21. She died a month after she turned 21 of kidney failure (due to old age her organs slowly began to shut down). Anyway my point is its very common and not at all unusual for cats who are well cared for to live 17, 18 years. My cat was exceptional she gave me 21 beautiful years.
No. He is not ready. He still has many years left to lay on the road, pose for photographers, casually ignore visiting dignitaries and remind number 10, who is really in charge. With the best vetinerary care and healthy diet he could live into his early 20s. Long live Larry! A loyal subject, and cat lady from Australia 🇦🇺
Hope he has a loving vet to take care of him. Must be a dull day in the news to speculate about Larry’s death when he is alive and well on a Sunday in August.
It doesn’t sound like they’re speculating on his death just reporting they have a story in place before he dies. It’s really no different than obituaries that have been written about public figures before they die.
@@christystewart4567 Not published in advance though. Let’s hope he stays as chief mouser for many years. He looks back at the photographers turning his head over his shoulder that takes years for a model to do convincingly.
@@lohphat The one time a British pun was totally inappropriate! Make it about all the many ridiculous figures and figure heads in the U.K. NOT about Larry! Capiche?
Our cat, Solomon, lived to be 21. Vet said he was the oldest cat he had in his practice. We adopted him when he was 6 months old from a shelter. He was slated to be euthanize the next day. Was the best addition to our family. So, "Long live Larry!"
And kudos to you for adopting Solomon. I too adopted one that had feline aids and he only lived 2 years more with me, but I have always felt he appreciated his new home and I really bonded with him. He was a great cat. Yet I have always had cats in my life. I continue to value my 18 year old now, my little companion, a prima donna in all respects. My alarm cat 6:10 every morning; 4:00 pm dinner time. and not 4:10 but 4:00. Got to love 'em...
A house is not a home without a cat. Larry is blessed to have been rescued and I pray he has more time to enchant people with his antics. Let's live in the day, as Larry and other animals do. Animals can teach us humans a thing or two.
Is Larry ill? Are they planning to have him put to sleep? Larry should have been PM years ago. He's the only one who's done the job that he's supposed to, never made stupid promises or lied,not been paid stupid amounts, or been given back handers. Never taken from the poor or the disabled, never promised the impossible and always stuck to his job.
I hope they don’t have to publish this obituary yet for years to come. Larry is one of the very few stories on the political stage that brings smiles, even love, on the part of the public.
This is totally appropriate for such an important British public figure. It will be a sad day. I hope it will be many years before this happens. I hope that should Larry need to retire, they are able to bring on an equally impactful Chief Mouser. It will be a difficult transition but as the Royal Family have shown continuity is important.
There's a reason for that: the door is made to be bomb-proof, so it's integrity would be diminished if a cat flap was to be installed. Besides, Larry can get the officer standing at the door to open it for him 😂
My Dannyboy looks like Larry. Such a clever cat, seldom meows but when he does, it's a full on conversation. Sadly he passed away last year and till today I still get teary eyed remembering all our memories.
very cruel as if you are hoping for Larry's death... cruel!!! Let Larry live happily and keep him healthy. Larry deserves to live happily and healthily
- It is with a furious heart that I personally have to say the F word to the media for wishing my own trespassing ahead of time! Don't you people remember that I still have lives left? - Larry -
As an American. I love Larry the Mouser. Considering his posh digs and timely medical care, I'm sure the he has many years of bibtant life ahead of him. However, it is nice to see that they are insuring his legacy with kindness and compassion because of his public status much like the King.
He's the same age as my senior ginger boy. It will be a sad day when Larry passes away, not just for the UK, but for cat lovers everywhere, including here in Canada. I refuse to think about this, though, and am just enjoying videos and photographs of him.
Neighbor cat: "I have my own little kitty door, so I can come & go as I please." Larry: "That's nice, but I've got my own doorman. @1:02 He immediately opens the door for me."
Well my cat is 16 in November, I am planning to celebrate her birthday, as she will be the oldest pet we have had, to negative for poor Larry. Betty says good afternoon Larry. ❤️❤️
I wonder if Larry feels sad when PM's leave and new ones come. Not everyone is going to pay him the best attention. Some may not like cats as much as others.
I agree with other comments, he’s got several more years to live unless he is at stage 3 or 4 of renal failure. Share that information with all of us instead of this sad video, be forthcoming of what is really going on with Larry.
What is this? Well taken care of tabby cats can live into their twenties, mine did, so stop inviting bad happenings...and leave Larry be, we love him to bits! 💞🍀🙏🙏🙏😻🐾
Who is going to pay for that? There is no official funding for its upkeep, even a visit to the vet is pooled together by the staff of No. 10 and No. 11.
It's a weird way to announce. It sounded to me like "for announcing death while letting him live incognito to appear finally with some revealing messages". Seriously, there were too many moments when people were preparing funeral speeches for some celebrity who managed to live years after that.
The only one in Downing Street to have integrity in their job.
Wait he died ??
@@Allyourbase1990
No. I thought at first too!
@@Allyourbase1990 no they're just reporting on eventualities at this point

Man stop putting that bad energy on my man Larry . He’s got another 20 years in him !
no he doesn't. he is already older than most cats live, hail and farewell, a life well lived!

Why are they doing this. They deserve a boycott.
Right? This is just his FIRST life, he has eight more!!!!
No.

Long live Larry ✊
Remember when he snubbed President Trump and hid under his bomb-proof car and wouldn't come out?😅😅😅❤
And from Bellevue Washington USA
My ginger tom called Fudge lived to 20 years. He passed away last week. He had good life and was very well cared for. I gave all my adopted cats 100%.
@user-ch7lp9sc7m Sorry to hear about your cats. God love them all. ❤️
He has a couple of years left. Leave him alone.
Two of my cats just passed their 20th birthdays
For goodness sake...... we don't need this kind of TALK 😡
Longer than this government has at this rate!
Larry is not immortal. He is eternal.
I had a cat that lived 23 years. Long live the Mouser 🎉
My Stängli also lived 23
My cat Gracie lived to age 21
Our cat Whiskey ruled our neighbourhood for 21 years.
How wonderful. I have an 18 year old Russian blue and she appears to be healthy though her kidneys are on the decline. Such great companions!
My friend's cat lived until 24 year old.
My cat is 18 and happy leave him alone 😢😢
My cat lived to age 21 so its very possible for Larry to give us a few more years 🙏
STOP IT..!!! Don't say this!! I WON'T hear of it..😣
Hope he has a loving vet to take care of him. Must be a dull day in the news to speculate about Larry’s death when he is alive and well on a Sunday in August.

I thought he had passed already.
Ohh, I first though he passed away. Was so sad! Sadness changed to joy, when I realized he is still with us! 😍😺😍
This cat is singlepawedly uniting the proverbial kingdom.
THEY are soooooooooo fortunate to have LARRY!!! Kudos to the Brits for understanding the value of our pets....especially Cats. ...from California
No! What a misleading title. Gave me a shock!
Don’t jinx Larry.
Bad karma. They need to stop putting that on Larry. He is dearly loved.
No, LONG LIVE THE CAT!!! Please keep up prayers for Larry so that he remains in good health.
The UK to get a Bank Holiday for Larry's passing...
A state funeral. No I'm not joking. At least a statue of him outside Number 10
We don't need to know this. Why scare the public with a news like this?
Is Larry ill?
Are they planning to have him put to sleep?
Larry should have been PM years ago.
He's the only one who's done the job that he's supposed to, never made stupid promises or lied,not been paid stupid amounts, or been given back handers.
Never taken from the poor or the disabled, never promised the impossible and always stuck to his job.
As an American of British descent & a lifelong cat lover, rescuer & advocate...I admire Larry & consider him the ultimate Cool Cat.
💙🐈🇬🇧✨️🇺🇸🐈💙
Larry IS Prime Minister to me! Don’t scare us like this!! He could have a good few more years yet
I hope they don’t have to publish this obituary yet for years to come. Larry is one of the very few stories on the political stage that brings smiles, even love, on the part of the public.
I've had cats live into their later teens and 20's. Just keep doing what you're doing for him, Take Care, Larry! ❤
Larry should get the chance to choose and train a successor kitten. He has important skills that could be passed on.
Larry Old Man, you are still looking good. I propose, King Larry move over Charlie
bless your soul.
This is totally appropriate for such an important British public figure. It will be a sad day. I hope it will be many years before this happens.
I hope that should Larry need to retire, they are able to bring on an equally impactful Chief Mouser. It will be a difficult transition but as the Royal Family have shown continuity is important.
The most competent one in the house 😢
I almost started crying! I thought Larry had passed. Don't ever do this again!
After 17 years you'd think they'd give him a cat door.
For security reasons he doesn’t get one.
There's a reason for that: the door is made to be bomb-proof, so it's integrity would be diminished if a cat flap was to be installed.
Besides, Larry can get the officer standing at the door to open it for him 😂
@@AStaff-gh4vo I hadn't even thought of this.
😢 Arguably the most beloved British public figure around the world. Much ❤🐈 from America.
I’d rather a well put-together, thoughtful article that is made in advance than a slapped together press release made after the actual passing.
Larry has in every Cabinet been the only competent member. Also better looking than all of them rolled together.
They aren’t speculating, they are preparing to treat his eventual passing as they do royalty. Show of respect actually.
I had one cat that lived 22 years. He may be around a lot longer.
Kel, wow 22 years . what pedigree
"Larry the cat has died. He now has 8 lives left. Long live Larry the cat."

Prayers of protection for Larry.
I can see Starmer being pushed out of office fast if Larry passes away on his watch.
Stop please, he survived a queen and probably will survive a king. 😮
I gasped thinking the worse for Larry. What kind of sick journalism is this?

You kidding he’s the best Cabinet Member we have had in British politics in the last few decades
Please take good care of his health as we hope to see him for another 10 years....
He will be very much missed by so many people.😢❤
Ohhhh!!!! Noooooo!!!😮 Sweet Larry. He's captured American hearts, too. We love you, Larry, all the way in Chicago.🥺🥺🥺💛💛💛💛😢😢😢😢😢🥲🥲🥲🥲
Don't worry, Larry ❤. They are making plans for Prince William, too. We hope to see you outside #10 soon! 😻 ❤🐈
Even as a foreginer not lifing in the UK I would be very sad if Larry passes away
This is sad 😢 First heard of him during covid and now here we are 💔 You are loved Larry ❤❤
LARRY I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE THE GREATEST MOUSER IN ENGLAND LONG LIVE LARRY KING KAT❤❤❤❤❤
Such a hardworking kitty, of course he deserves all the treats ❤
Long live our noble cat…
He's the same age as my senior ginger boy. It will be a sad day when Larry passes away, not just for the UK, but for cat lovers everywhere, including here in Canada.

Larry sarai sempre nel mio cuore ❤️
He is still young! That man can easily go pass 20. He will probably see off another 8-10 prime ministers.
You get Larry and we in the States get JD Vance and Krusty Noem. Doesn’t seem fair, does it?
UK- please don’t let Noem or RFK Jr onto your shores! Protect your four-legged from our psychos.
Loredda, we need a break from US news from time to time but you walked in here with just that
I hope we won't be seeing the media release too soon.
As soon as Labour comes into power, poor Larry loses the will to live.
What a legend, I can’t believe this though he has been in No. 8 for long time. Such a national treasure will be missed. 🕊️🕊️🐾🐾
God bless Larry a genuine classy fixture luv u❤❤❤❤❤
The only living creature, animal or human who has resided in number 10 to have any integrity at all and is probably more loyal and trustworthy.
Larry could live many more years! Last year at this time I lost my 23 year old cat.
Larry has fans in the US, too .
Well my cat is 16 in November, I am planning to celebrate her birthday, as she will be the oldest pet we have had, to negative for poor Larry.
Betty says good afternoon Larry. ❤️❤️
Damn! That headline scared me! 😮
I thought he passed away when I read the title. I gasped. My boy Larry still has good years left in him!
Ohmygosh! I thought he was at deaths door- that caption wasn’t cool.
Screw you, he's alive. You guys freaked me out.
LARRY IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PRESENT PRIME MINISTER AND WILL STILL PROBABLY OUTLAST HIM !!
Make sure he is safe and happy instead of talking about his death!!!!
Larry is the real PM, he just lets the humans do the hard work since he (Larry) can't actually use a pen.
I wonder if Larry feels sad when PM's leave and new ones come. Not everyone is going to pay him the best attention. Some may not like cats as much as others.
My cat passed at age 22. Larry’s not quite ready as work remains to be done at No. 10
17 is pretty old, my cats have passed anywhere from age 16 to 21, I lost Creampuff at age 17 at the start of the year
Larry for PM

Fear me if you dare

What a savage and sassy personality this soul carried. Its too sad to hear! Had to accept his time has come. May this savage soul RIP in heavens. 🐈🕯🌹
