Not sure where this goes...
A rather riveting video worthy of an Osprey and complete with a map to better simulate furballs.
Since 1929, the British Prime Minister has employed an official cat called The Chief Mouser to exterminate vermin at 10 Downing Street - discover their fascinating biographies.

I'll leave it here for the time being, but you cannot seriously post such a topic without expecting it to go in the direction of "look what the cat dragged in" or "even the chief mousers couldn't prevent repeated infestation".
;)
Sooo... I don't expect it not to go political, but try to avoid it AFAP. It would dishonour the memory of great felines such as Able Seacat Simon.

I think there is a fun scenario in the Blair's attempts to "disappear" Humphrey that led to the murder investigation.

Very cool history of the cats at Number 10.
Loved it.
Thanks for sharing.

That's a good 'Kill Doctor Lucky' scenario at No.10.

That photo of Cherie Blair holding Humphrey! >:D
How about Nelson vs. the Munich Mouser or Larry vs. Palmerston?

I've no reason to doubt this particular video - but I'd exercise caution with some of Mark Felton's other stuff. His work falls very much into the "enthusiast" category which in itself isn't bad, but he takes at face value some dubious claims and seems to have a problem adequately covering certain aspects of his topic.
I refer specifically to a video covering a Tiger claiming 50 kills at Kursk (which without rock solid corroboration from Soviet accounting of losses should be treated with the caution one would accord commando comics!) and his coverage of the assault of the Reichstag, where the German side is well covered whilst the Soviets are described in very general terms. It's fine to cover one side or other, but actually cover stuff properly if you're going to do (relatively) popular videos on the internet. :P
