Downing Street takes my advice and gets a new cat

Downing Street needs a cat again

said this blog last month.

This morning, reports BBC News, comes news that:

A new resident is to move into No 10 with David Cameron set to welcome a cat into his official residence.

The four-year old tabby cat, believed to be called Larry, is to join the prime minister and his family from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

The arrival, due on Tuesday, follows weeks of speculation about potential pest control measures after a rat was seen outside No 10.

I flatter myself that this blog is not without influence.
