Larry the Downing Street cat has avoided eviction from Number 10 following David Cameron's resignation.
The mouse hunter extraordinaire will stay at the residence when Theresa May replaces Mr. Cameron as prime minister.
"It's a civil servant's cat and does not belong to the Camerons - he will be staying," a government spokesman said.
Larry was brought in by London's Battersea Cats and Dogs Home to address a rat problem, after a large black rat was seen in the background of a live television report.
