Larry: The Beloved Cat of 10 Downing Street

Larry the cat is the beloved "Chief Mouser" at 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the UK Prime Minister. He was adopted from Battersea Cats Home in 2011 during David Cameron's tenure, primarily for his mousing skills, and has since become a widely recognized figure, often seen outside the iconic door during political events.

Now 17 years old, Larry has outlived five prime ministers and is a cherished part of British public life. His duties include greeting guests, inspecting security, and lounging on antique furniture, while still "planning" his mouse-catching strategy.
