Larry has outlasted five prime ministers and two monarchs at this point
Outlasted 4 and 1 - charles hasn't died yet
I guess Liz Truss technically counts, but she was outlasted by a head of lettuce with googly eyes.
I need to give credit where it's due, I'll buy heads of iceberg and the shit outlasts the yellow american, cheese I get from time to time, and we all know what yellow american is made of (jk, I have no idea). Iceberg lettuce is just a survivor.
He had to count to 1 and failed. Give him a break.
He doesn't even do the work, Freya does it all, he just gets the credit and title.
Does he also have a couple of crows?
Battery operated ones.
Davey C looking at the cat like "You better not tell Obama I was licking your butthole last night"
Well the mouse police never sleep.
Oh, did they get ahead of time air bud situation and make sure to put in a rule that a cat can't be PM?
cats can't obtain anything as they have no agency, they can only be bestowed upon, whether the cat accepts is a question that can't possibly be answered, but i'd expect not
While it's true that cats may not have agency in the human sense—planning for the distant future or contemplating their existence—they do exhibit a form of agency within their capabilities. Cats make choices about their actions, like where to sleep or when to hunt, showing preferences and intentionality. They respond to their environments in complex ways, indicating a level of autonomous decision-making. So while their agency might be different from ours, it's not accurate to say they have none at all.
He obtained it by being the veryverybestboi. Just like every cat.
