Larry

For more than a decade, Larry has been one of the most distinguished residents of Downing Street.

Larry the cat, who arrived at the British Prime Minister's residence in 2011, has spent years there and has seen firsthand the change of governments and prime ministers.

Larry has gained the status of a public figure, while his duty to keep rodents under control has made him an integral part of life in Downing Street.

Born in 2007, he was taken in by the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and arrived at Downing Street on February 15, 2011.

He was sent to Downing Street to help deal with the rodent problem in the building.

Initially, the idea was for Larry to also be a pet for the children of then-former Prime Minister David Cameron.

However, he quickly became part of the Downing Street staff and received the official title of "Official Ratcatcher of the Cabinet Office".

Larry is not a personal property of the British Prime Minister.

He resides in Downing Street as part of the institution's staff and has continued to live there during changes of governments.

In 2026, with the arrival of Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Larry still continues his duty.

At around 19 years old, Larry is already one of the longest-serving residents of Downing Street.

He has been present during the leadership of seven British prime ministers: David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer and now Andy Burnham.

Despite his reputation as a "ratcatcher," Larry hasn't always been very active in this task.

However, he has been photographed and filmed several times catching or chasing rodents.

In April 2026, he was filmed again catching a mouse in front of television cameras.

This time, Larry was seen catching a rodent and then returning without much fanfare to Downing Street - giving another moment of publicity to the most famous cat in British politics.
