BRITAIN'S 'CHIEF MOUSER' RECORDS FIRST KILL

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_BRITAIN_DOWNING_STREET_CAT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-08-28-08-08-28

LONDON (AP) -- Britain's most prestigious house cat has finally earned its keep.

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.
