There are calls, apparently, for the Downing Street cat, Larry, to resign after being observed sleeping when he is supposed to be out ratting.
There have been suggestions that Larry spends more of his time asleep or with a lady friend, Maisie, than he does hunting rodents.
Yes? And? So? A cat’s gotta do what a cat’s gotta do.
As someone said on the Daily Mail comments:
“So at Number ten Downing Street there lives a dopey-looking creature which was brought in there on the promise of taking decisive action about problems, but which now spends most of its time lying around uselessly and has barely done anything since it arrived. Also, there’s a cat which won’t catch mice.”
Curses, beat me to it!
Our old tom, Hermann (orignally as in Hesse, but later as in Göring!) spent about 80% of his time aslep.
Didn’t affect his mouse/rat/dog count…..
The BBC’s Norman Smith said the arrival of the entire cabinet had not woken him from his slumber on a hot air vent.
I now know that cats are very clever.
