Jakarta — President of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto shared an adorable moment on Instagram where he was seen petting Larry the Cat during his visit to the residence and office of the UK Prime Minister at Downing Street.
In a post on his personal Instagram account, @prabowo, on Friday (22/11), Prabowo, dressed in a dark blue suit and scarf, gently stroked Larry—a grey-patterned cat famously known as the Chief Mouser of 10 Downing Street.
“Meeting Larry the cat at 10 Downing Street. London, United Kingdom,” wrote Prabowo.
The post quickly garnered thousands of comments from netizens, many of whom jokingly expressed concerns about the possible “jealousy” of Bobby Kertanegara—affectionately known as Bobby the Cat—Prabowo’s beloved pet.
“Pak, don’t forget Bobby, check on him—he might be feeling down,” commented prominent lawyer Dewi Noor Kumalasari (@dewikumala89).
“Bobby be like: Oh, so that’s what happens when you’re away from me. Got it. All guys are the same, all miaows,” wrote @jakaparker, whose comment received over 5,000 likes.
“Bobby: I thought we had something special,” chimed in @andijerni.
“Bobby: So… I was just a pastime for you? Is that it?” teased @piyan.me.
The lighthearted responses from netizens showcased the affection for both Prabowo’s relationship with Bobby and his interaction with Larry, adding a playful touch to his otherwise formal diplomatic visit. (RR)
