Larry, the official cat of 10 Downing Street and the UK government’s Chief Mouser, is recovering at home after undergoing a minor operation to remove a cyst. A Downing Street source confirmed that Larry is doing well and has already returned to roaming the building. The source offered a light-hearted update, saying Larry was “feline much better” but taking things “one paw at a time.” The statement also expressed gratitude to the veterinary team involved in his treatment. Larry, a familiar presence at the British prime minister’s official residence, is known for his role in catching mice and has become a popular fixture of Downing Street life. (PC: X)
