Sir Lindsay Hoyle's cat Attlee in the running to become Purr Minister 2024
Forget Larry the cat, Chorley MP and House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay’s Hoyle’s fabulous feline is in the running for a prestigious title.
It’s a case of a battle of the moggies as it’s time to vote for Purr Minister 2024 and Attlee backs himself as a favourite among the feline community.
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home is preparing for a fur-midable feline face-off, as MPs and Peers have put their cats to a public vote to be crowed Purr Minister 2024. Each cat-didate has submitted a Manifursto explaining why they've got what it takes to rule the House.
From committing to more pet-friendly properties to cracking down on illegal kitten importing, we want to know which animal welfare policy will be popular amongst our Purr Minister entrants?
Attlee is a brown tabby Maine Coon cat who is named after the former Labour prime minister Clement Attlee.
His impressive entry to the feline competition reads:
Owner: Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP.
Why should I be Purr Minister?
- I know ‘Furrskine' May like the back of my paw.
- As a DiploCat, I have a firm claw on international diplomacy and strengthening inter-purrlimentary ties.
- I respect the hiss-tory of Purr-liament.
- I will purr-tect the parliamentary community.
- I’ll be an ‘Advocate’ for ensuring fellow felines having a purrfect experience in the House.
