RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST: Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. In our continuing coverage of Britain's embattled 10 Downing Street resident, we have reports that there's been an injury. Larry the cat is limping. The British press is blaming Palmerston, the Foreign Office's cat. Larry, you'll recall, is the rat catcher considered tough enough to be prime minister. British officials played down the turf war between the two. Still, the two felines have been observed fighting in the streets. It's MORNING EDITION.
Britain's favorite civil servant was observed limping on Wednesday. Some suspect Palmer, the Foreign Office cat, is responsible for wounding the mouser in chief at the prime minister's residence.
