Larry follows a great tradition of cats living in the Prime Minister's home, including 'Rufus of England' in the 1920s during Ramsay MacDonald's term, and the famous Humphrey who occupied No 10 from 1989 to 1997. Apparently he's not the friendliest of cats, having scratched some news reporters earlier today who were attempting to hold him during their reports, but I'm sure that nasty streak will prove to be an asset when he's chasing down rodents! I can't imagine what the journalists were doing to him, because he certainly looks rather soft and cuddly to me...

No 10's Latest Appointment - Larry The Tabby Cat
After a rat was seen scurrying along in the background of a BBC report being filmed from outside No 10 Downing St recently, a new member of staff has just joined the Prime Minister's team in the form of Larry, a four-year old tabby cat from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
