The Canadian Prime Minister spoke about his cat at the rally

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney briefly distracted from a serious agenda at a rally on October 16: in between phrases, one of the listeners asked about Niko, and the politician said that his cat's name was.

"Nico is home alone right now, actually. He gained a little weight, but he's fine," the prime minister said.

Then the politician returned to the main topic of the speech — the call to support the unity of Canada. At the same time, he emphasized the tense situation surrounding the possible secession of the province of Alberta.

Does a cat have a soul

Larry the cat, a permanent resident of the British Prime Minister's residence on Downing Street, was outraged on September 9 by his absence from the official photo of the new cabinet under the leadership of Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The cat has been living in the residence of the British Prime Minister since 2011. Formally, he is the main mousetrap of Downing Street and even receives a salary of £100 (about 11 thousand rubles) per year.
