# Larry, the famous cat who keeps watch over the British Prime Minister’s residence, is recovering well after an operation to remove a cyst. The 19-year-old chief mouser was spotted back at Downing Street with a scar on his side and a patch of shaved fur. Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s office says Larry is already roaming the building again. In a light-hearted message, it said he was “feline much better” but taking things “one paw at a time”. Larry has lived at Number 10 since 2011 and has served under seven prime ministers.
