Larry the Downing Street cat (in pic) has made his first kills since being brought in to deal with rats at Number 10, UK PM David Cameron announced yesterday. But the tabby tomcat has not been catching rats, but mice, said the Prime Minister.



Cameron revealed that his historic London townhouse is infested with mice, and that he has even spotted one in the flat he occupies with wife Samantha and their children above 11 Downing Street. "I'm a big Larry fan," the PM told ITV1's This Morning.

"We have got big mouse infestation in Downing Street and Larry has caught some mice. I actually took a picture of one in my flat on my mobile phone, because it was looking at me." Cameron said he was not scared of mice, but added, "Rats I'm frightened of, but I haven't seen any of those."
