Katie Hopkins took aim at the ‘Downing Street cat’ on Twitter and it was a schoolboy error for the ages

Poke Reporter. Updated February 10th, 2026

To the world, briefly, of Katie Hopkins, whose daily pursuit of relevance – any kind of relevance! – took her to the door of 10 Downing Street.

In particular, the estimable Twitter account @Number10cat who does a fabulous job, among many other things, of fact checking idiots everywhere.

Dear @Number10cat

Count your days you fluffy rodent.

When I get into that place I am bringing my dog, Cunty McCat-Killer.

The taxidermist wont even be able to make a muff cover out of what is left of you.

And it prompted no end of on-point replies, not least from @Number10cat …

Katherine, I've shat out scarier than you. Toodles.

I like you Katie but we can't have violence towards any animal

I stand with Larry the cat.

… but it was the unfortunate schoolboy error which really grabbed our attention.

You do realise that cats aren’t actually rodents, don’t you?
Oh and FYI Larry would claw your eyes out and gouge you a new arsehole before you could even react.

Katie’s so dumb, she thinks the Number 10 cat is a rodent. https://t.co/rMcPnM5wq5

The cat has principles and humanity. It's a feline not a rodent!

To conclude …

How fucking embarrassing is this tweet 😂😂😂 threatening a cat, what a fucking loser
