Larry the cat is celebrating 15 years as the UK government’s official rodent-catcher and unofficial first feline, a reassuring presence who has served under six prime ministers.
Larry was adopted from London’s Battersea Dogs and Cats Home by then-Prime Minister David Cameron in February 2011.
According to a profile on the UK government website, Larry’s duties include ‘greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defenses and testing antique furniture for napping quality.’
