Although David Cameron's love for Larry the cat was once cast into doubt after rumours he called the mouser "it", he has revealed that he misses the famous feline.

The former Prime Minister was talking at the Oldie of the Year award, where his mother was being awarded a prize when he revealed he missed the territorial puss.

He said: "I do [miss Larry] a bit actually. He had this habit in the morning of being in my chair.

"He was so incredibly relaxed that you couldn't really move him. Although actually eventually you had to.

Despite Theresa May giving Larry the cat a somewhat frosty reception in an interview with The Times and hinting she is more of a dog person, Mr Cameron said he is "sure he's being very well looked-after".
