Larry the No10 cat makes a killing

Larry the Downing Street cat has inadvertently helped his master, Prime Minister David Cameron, hit back after the British leader was challenged to show whether he was "man or mouse" Tuesday.

Larry killed a mouse, a rare event in the life of a feline previously known for his laid-back approach to hunting.

The killing came hours after senior Conservative MP Tim Yeo questioned whether Cameron had the character to take the politically explosive decision to give the green light for a third runway at Heathrow airport in a column for The Daily Telegraph.

"The Prime Minister must ask himself whether he is man or mouse," Yeo wrote.

Cameron is on holiday in Cornwall but a Downing Street spokesman told reporters: "The only dead mouse in Downing Street is the one Larry caught this morning."

News of Larry's triumph was quickly picked up by British media, who have frequently run pictures of the cat since it was brought to Downing Street from Battersea Cats and Dogs home in February 2011 to curb its mouse problem.

But it is not the five-year-old feline's first kill, or even the first mouse he has caught, Downing Street told AFP. "There's been several," a spokesman said.
