Larry – official rat catcher of Downing Street





Larry is a white tabby tom. He’s 4 year old. Not much is know about him except that he was rescued in January & then he was neutered.

Downing Street asked for a friendly cat to deal with rats in the buildings.

Battersea staff described him as lively, confident and sociable, with ‘a strong predatory drive’. Kirsty Walker, head of cats, added: ‘I can definitely see Larry holding his own.’

Last night correspondents purporting to be Larry – and the rats – were busy sending Twitter updates.
