Monty and Lola

This is Monty and this is Lola. We live with Erebus. Shadow lived with us for a while. We miss Nyx. We have a friend, Jack. Kobi lived with us for a while in a fort under our couch. Sometimes we share photos and things about other cats.

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.
