Larry the Cat, officially known as the Chief Mouser to the UK Prime Minister, is celebrating a notable milestone: his 15th anniversary in this unofficial yet charming role. Living at 10 Downing Street, Larry has become a familiar sight in the iconic street, often seen lazing around. His primary duties consist of catching mice, greeting visitors, inspecting security at the residence, and, humorously enough, testing the comfort of various antique furnishings for napping. While his effectiveness as a mouser has been humorously challenged over the years due to accusations of laziness, he remains a beloved figure at the Prime Minister's residence.

Despite being 19 years old, Larry's health is reportedly still robust. To honor his 15 years of service, he is being rewarded with additional treats, as confirmed by an unnamed government source. His laid-back personality and occasional photobombing antics have endeared him to journalists covering events at Downing Street, where he enjoys a level of fame well beyond that of a standard pet. Larry's presence emphasizes not only the lighter side of political life in the UK but also serves as a quirky and much-loved mascot for the residence, showing that even in officialdom, a little personality can go a long way.
