英國在脫歐公投後,留歐派的文翠珊成為了首相府新主人,而脫歐派旗手約翰遜則成為外交部新主人。惟繼首相府第一貓Larry與外交部的「首席捕鼠官」Palmerston街頭互睥打鬥後,Palmerston近日就再上門挑釁,最終要保安人員出手將牠逐出首相府。

一身黑白色毛髮的Palmerston,被發現企圖竄入首相府,惟最終無法越過防守線,被警員趕回至行人道上,但牠仍伏在門前,似乎見不到Larry勢不罷休。不過,白棕色毛髮的Larry得悉「敵人」上門後,亦不甘示弱走出門外,與對方近距離互睥,眼神中火藥味甚濃,惟最終兩貓都未有出手打鬥。

Larry與Palmerston已非首次出現磨擦,兩貓近期已多次短兵相接,沒有一方能夠穩佔上風,而本月初的一次打鬥中,Larry的前爪受傷需接受治療。Larry於2011年「進駐」首相府,受到前首相卡梅倫歡迎;Palmerston則於今年初成為外交部的「首席捕鼠官」。

Boris Johnson's cat evicted from 10 Downing Street after sneaking in when the door was open[/size=4]

Boris Johnson inherited a new feline colleague at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as well as his new role in the Cabinet - and his cheeky streak appears to have rubbed off on the cat.

Palmerston took his Downing Street ambitions further by sneaking in to Theresa May's new residence while no one was looking.

The black-and-white cat, who was appointed Chief Mouser to the Foreign Office earlier this year after being adopted from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, was unceremoniously evicted by police officers.

He then sat outside the building, looking furious - and even appeared to have a stand-off with a police officer.

Amid the post-referendum upheaval within the Government, Palmerston and his No 10 rival Larry have been at each others' throats recently. One violent clash outside the Foreign Office is thought to have resulted in a paw injury to Larry which required veterinary treatment.

No 10's cat was put on bed rest for a few days as he licked his wounds.

It has been thought that Larry may be missing his mentor David Cameron and be facing stress due to the move-in of the May family.

Although recent comings and goings in Downing Street have been linked with the feline skirmishes, Larry does have a history of troubled relations with his neighbours.

He often came to blows with the cat from No 11, Freya, who was then exiled to the countryside.

Police were previously forced to step in to break up a cat fight between Larry and Freya, former Moggy of the Treasury.

Larry arrived at No 10 in 2011, having been picked out by staff from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
