Larry the cat marks 15 years as Britain's 'first feline'

Larry the cat is marking 15 years as Britain’s Chief Mouser at 10 Downing Street, a symbol of stability in turbulent political times. He reaches the milestone on Sunday, having served under six prime ministers. Larry is a former stray who was adopted in 2011 by then-Prime Minister David Cameron from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Over the years Larry has turned greeting guests and napping into his public brand. Photographers say he loves to steal the spotlight during visits by foreign leaders. Reports of his mouse hunting skills are mixed but he has become a much-loved fixture that no leader dares remove.
