"Larry the cat, the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, is celebrating 15 years
as the British government's official rodent-catcher.

The unofficial first feline has served under six prime ministers and shaken
paws with world leaders including Barack Obama and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The famous moggy is thought to be as old as 19 and came from Battersea Dogs &
Cats Home where he was rescued as a stray."
