While Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is known to have a cat El Gato, the truth about Boris Johnson and cats has yet to be an Election issue.
In perhaps the definitive book about Johnson, Sonia Purnell’s Just Boris, she notes that when he moved to Islington in 2004 with his wife Marina Wheeler he refused to have a cat.
She writes ‘Boris believes that cats in particular, are a ‘sure index of unsatisfied human cravings’.
Exactly what that means we might speculate but it clearly means that Johnson is an Ailurophobic.
Can such a man be fit to share 10 Downing St with Larry the cat?
