Despite historic evidence showing cats residing in the English government as far back as Henry VIII&#8217;s rule, it was only in 2011 when the title Chief Mouser was anointed. And to whom did the honorary title fall upon, you ask? None other than Larry &#8211; a proud brown-and-white tabby who was brought in by David Cameron to tackle the small mice population in the prime minister\u2019s home. Since his adoption from Battersea Dogs &amp; Cats Home, Larry has celebrated 10 years on the prowl, much to the endearment of the British public and press.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Trying to catch a glimpse of the Chief Mouser in action?

Having been raised in Istanbul\u2019s most iconic landmark, Gli would often welcome both locals and tourists alike, quickly shooting to fame when he greeted Barack Obama in 2009. From then onwards, many would visit in the hopes of petting the famous cat, whose daily duties included mewing, napping and joining daily prayers. In 2020, Gli passed away after a long and happy life in the heart of Istanbul.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Visit Gli\u2019s beloved home on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/highlights-of-turkey\">Highlights of Istanbul<\/a> tour<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CJngpi5rxE-\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tama-station-master-of-kishi-station-wakayama-japan\"><em>Tama <\/em>&#8211; Station Master of Kishi Station, Wakayama, Japan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2006 all stations on the Kishigawa Line were destaffed to just one station master, cutting the costs of an already struggling service. One station in particular &#8211; Kishi station &#8211; had been on the brink of closure for a few years, and had been saved once a few years prior by locals. However with an absence of commuters, it seemed inevitable that Kishi station would soon be shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Tama the cat. In 2007, railway officials awarded this stray tortoiseshell cat with the title of station master. Fully decked out in a golden collar and a special hat, Tama had the prestigious job of welcoming passengers to Kishi. To say she was the employee of the month would be an huge understatement. Soon after Tama\u2019s employment, visitors came trickling through the previously empty station doors, hoping to be greeted by the newest and furriest employee of Kishi. The Tama effect equalled a 10% increase in ridership that year, and the tourism ultimately saved the station from being closed down permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst Tama passed away in 2015, she has remained the \u201cHonorary Eternal Stationmaster\u201d, with fellow stray Nitama being appointed as her successor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Explore the charms of rural Japan with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/splendours-of-japan\">Splendours of Japan<\/a> tour<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">From 2007 to 2015, Tama the cat rose from stationmaster at the unmanned Kishi station in Japan, to \u2018super stationmaster\u2019, to Vice President of the railway, and, after her death, to \u2018Honourable Eternal Stationmaster\u2019 and a Shinto goddess.
