Larry the Cat - newest addition to 10 Downing Street

I have two, my other prefers smaller things such as worms though. :P Most of my cats have killed them in the past. Although generally we get more mice.

How strange... Wanna swap? :P
I have only ever had one cat that went after rats, but she also took down hares and rabbits the same size as her. It's a shame we may never know if this cat solves this apparent rat issue at No. 10.

Maybe not, but hey, how many countries have an official cat resident. ;)

Well a quick google search reveals George W Bush and Bill Clinton had a cat;

And the Canadian parliament has loads;

Fascinating stuff ;)

Edit: President Chirac even had a dog which got depressed and attacked him :L (Although I'd like to tread carefully when it comes to dog attacks due to a thread not to long ago in here...)

Well every so often we get a bird or a vole / mouse on the doorstep but I really think it's next doors cats that catch them.. and then Thomas steals it and tries to shrug them off as his own, damn he's clever :) But then again, we only tend to get them when the field at the back of our house is cut so it's probably the harvester that kills them :'( OH WELL.
