Cat fight: Larry takes on Freya
In the Number 11 corner was the George Osborne-trained Freya facing up to Number 10 southpaw, Larry, in a feline face off.

Sparks: It's unclear what caused the early morning showdown
Five-year-old Larry is still revelling in his first knockout kill, hitting back against the critics who knocked his apathetic attitude towards rodent control after being brought in last year to help curb the mouse problem at No 10.
There had been rumours that Larry's inability to carry out his duties was to result in an ignoble demotion, forced to job share his Chief Mouser duties with the up-and-coming Freya, Buzzfeed reported.
