Political Animals
Larry the Downing Street Cat may be a national treasure — outlasting five Prime Ministers — but he's far from the only animal to make political history.
In Political Animals, political journalist and former special adviser Peter Cardwell uncovers the untold stories of the cats, dogs — and even tarantulas — that have roamed the corridors of power in Westminster and Washington.

“If you want a friend in Westminster, get a dog. Every MP should remember that timeless truth – and then consult this treasure trove from the witty and well-connected Peter Cardwell for advice. Political books aren’t supposed to be this fun.”
“As someone who proudly reported live on the arrival of Larry the cat in Downing Street, let me heartily recommend this warm and life-affirming book. Peter has always brought the human touch to politics and now he adds the feline and canine touch too. A joyous read.”
