The lovely people at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home showed me around
and I got to see Larry the Downing Street cat’s old pen, with its very own
sign. Founded in 1860, the home is well known for its care of dogs, yet it
started taking cats as early as 1883. Larry, of course, now has a high social
media profile of his own, tweeting as @Number10cat and @DowningStCat, continuing
cats’ dominance of the internet.
