But can the Country afford it?
A cat is to be installed in Downing Street to help combat a growing rat problem.
A number of recent sightings of a rat scurrying behind television reporters during bulletins from the street outside the Prime Minister?s front door have forced No10 to act.
Humphrey, the Downing Street cat, in 1997
David Cameron's aides have confirmed they will look for a new cat.
A No10 official said: ?We have not yet been to Battersea cats and dogs home ? not yet.?
Cats in Downing Street have had a chequered history. A black and white cat called Humphrey ? after the character in the hit comedy Yes, Minister - was adopted by No10 staff in 1989 while Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. Humphrey had wandered into the building as a stray.
But when Tony Blair?s New Labour romped to victory in 1997 the cat was moved out within six months of the Blairs entering No10. Mr Blair?s office denied that the cat was banished because Cheri Blair disliked it.
Humphrey died in March 2006 at the home of a civil servant who cared for him during his "retirement".
Next into the fray was Sybil, owned by Alistair Darling?s wife Maggie. It was brought down from the then-Chancellor?s Edinburgh home to Downing Street in a bid to rid the house of mice.
But Sybil did not settle and returned home.
The new threat of rodents was illustrated last week when Gary O'Donoghue, a BBC political correspondent, was delivering a report from Downing Street. A large rat ran behind him and past the door of No10.

But can the Country afford it?
In 1997 a cat called Humphrey was brought in number 10 but during the stay of Cheri Blair at number 10 she disliked the cat and the cat died in March 2006, as long as Cheri Blair were in number 10 the rats multiplied and they needed another cat to get rid of rats, now after a very long debates in the number 10 they have decided to get a new cat, but what are they going to named the new cat?

Hope the cat get the same perks as MP's. Claim maybe for a second catflap inthe Mayfair area for ?300,000.
Patience is a virtue.

The only rats in Downing Street are those that call themselves MP's, vermin one and all. The new cat they should get should be this one
My master plan is to live forever..... going to plan so far
Despite the cost of living, it's still very popular.
No good deed goes unpunished....

I agree with Gaston the Rat problem is a big one! Rat poison should be put in the drinks cabinet if it does kill them it might instead raise the level of the Rats IQ
