Larry the Cat, the United Kingdom's 'chief mouser,' outlasts five prime ministers

A former stray, he was adopted from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, said the U.K. government's official website, after the prime minister's official residence was experiencing a rodent infestation.

Since Larry's adoption, he has remained quite a popular figure. "Larry has the press corps at his paws, with photographers snapping photos of him whenever the news is slow, or all the time, really," the AP said.
