Larry the No 10 cat catches first mouse...finally!

By: Vickie J. Rubinson

After two months on the job, Downing Street's "Chief Mouser" as cats who catch government rats are called--finally snared his first prey.

On Good Friday, Larry appeared through a window from the Downing Street garden with a mouse in his mouth. He is believed to have dropped his swag at the feet of the prime minster's secretaries.

Recruited to deal with a rodent problem--black rats have been seen bolting across the Downing Street lawn--Larry has preferred hanging out in the corridors of power to stalking in the grass.

Announcing his new hire, the prime minster's spokesman said Larry had been "highly recommended."

According to Prime Minster David Cameron's spokesman, Larry possesses a "very strong predatory drive and high chase drive and hunting instinct."

Group wants shop charged for Nazi cakes

Owners of an Austrian pastry shop that showcases cakes decorated with Nazi themes should be prosecuted, a Holocaust awareness group urged Tuesday.

The bakery, located in the village of Maria Enzersdorf, near the Austrian capital Vienna, features photos of cakes that are adorned with swastikas and other Nazi era symbols, including an arm raised in a Hitler salute, the Mauthasuen Committee said.

Austrian law bans the glorification of the Nazi era and any attempt to diminish, deny or justify the Holocaust.
