Source Summary
The UK's most famous cat is waiting for a new owner. Larry, adopted by the Prime Minister's office and officially named chief mouse catcher of the cabinet in February 2011, saw journalists, photographers and television cameras gather outside the door of 10 Downing Street this Sunday, awaiting events. While the large animal ensured that no stranger – and even less so any rodent – crossed the threshold of the cute but uncomfortable Georgian house on the famous Whitehall alley, Keir Starmer spent the weekend at Chequers, his official country residence, just over sixty kilometres north-west of London.
