No.10's Downing Street Cat Larry - His security team

Right, listen up everyone! Larry the cat, also known as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, is the top feline in charge of ridding the prestigious Number 10 of any pesky rodents. He honed his hunting skills during his days as a stray, and now he's the best in the business.
But that's not all - Larry's daily duties extend far beyond rodent control. He's also responsible for greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defenses, and most importantly, testing antique furniture for maximum napping comfort. Now, some may be under the impression that the security detail around No 10 is for the protection of the Prime Minister, government officials, and visiting dignitaries. But let's be honest, we all know that it's really to keep Britain's favourite feline safe and sound!
