Larry the Cat Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office
15th February marks one year of residence at Number 10 for Larry, Chief Mouser – the first cat at Number 10 to be bestowed the title officially.
Larry was recruited from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home on recommendation for his mousing skills. He joined the Number 10 household and has made a significant impact in his first year.

He has captured the hearts of the Great British public and the press teams often camped outside the front door. In turn the nation sends him gifts and treats daily.
Larry spends his days greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defences and testing antique furniture for napping quality. His day to day responsibilities also include contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house, Larry says this is still ‘in tactical planning stage’.
