Larry, a tabby recruited by Prime Minister David Cameron to ward off mice at his official residence 10 Downing Street, has recorded his first kill in months.
A Downing Street spokeswoman says a staff member found the five-year-old "Chief Mouser" Tuesday sitting outside the famous black door with a dead mouse.
Larry, a former stray, has been known to take a relaxed approach to his duties.
