# Downing Street cat attacks TV reporter
|
|
|
|
## Larry, the new Downing Street pet, proved he was in no mood to be friendly
|
|
with the media after he scratched ITV News reporter Lucy Manning.

The cat was brought to Downing Street to catch rats, but Larry's first victim
|
|
has been a TV news journalist.
|
|
|
|
The four-year-old tabby, described as having a "very strong predatory drive",
|
|
left political reporter Lucy Manning with scratches to her arms after she
|
|
tried to film a piece for ITV News with Larry sat on her lap.
|
|
|
|
Clearly unimpressed by the prospect of being on national TV, Larry escaped
|
|
from her grip and hid under a table at the Prime Minister's residence.
|
|
|
|
Earlier in the day, Larry had arrived to take up the role of rat-catcher at No
|
|
10 after reports of a rodent problem at the address.
