Larry, the famous resident cat of 10 Downing Street, has once again attracted attention after appearing to target a squirrel near the British Prime Minister’s official residence. Known as the UK Cabinet Office’s Chief Mouser, Larry has lived at Downing Street since 2011 and has become a familiar figure during successive governments. The amusing encounter highlights Larry’s natural hunting instincts, despite his long-standing role as a much-loved Downing Street resident. His presence frequently draws photographers and public interest, making even his everyday movements around the government complex a media attraction.
