The head mouser at the British government’s residence denied news of his death.Earlier, a local media outlet claimed on X that Larry, the British prime minister’s favourite cat, had died. Larry replied with a famous quote by American writer Mark Twain."Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated", — the mouser’s managers wrote on X. On 15 February 2011, the cat Larry appeared at 10 Downing Street. He was brought from a shelter, presumably at the age of four.
