'Number 10 cat' Larry loves being stroked by Barack Obama

Larry the cat, who was deployed in 10 Downing Street to catch a rat is a big fan of US President Barack Obama, according to Britain Prime Minister David Cameron


Cameron said that while the four-year-old tabby was a 'bit nervous' around most men, the US President seemed to be an exception.


"Funnily enough he liked Obama," the BBC quoted him as saying.


"Obama gave him a stroke and he was all right with Obama," he added.

He further revealed that Larry was 'not very keen on men', but seemed happy to be stroked by Obama when he visited London in May.

Speaking to Radio 2''s Steve Wright, Cameron said Larry was "a good mouser" and was "doing well".

Larry, who was brought from London''s Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, is the first prime ministerial cat for more than 10 years.
