Sybil, named after Basil's wife in the 1970s classic sitcom - 'Fawlty Towers', is the latest feline resident at No 10. She has moved down from Edinburgh with Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling who will live in the flat above No10 during the week.
     
Sybil, like her predecessor Humphrey also shares the TV name connection - Humphrey was named after Sir Humphrey Appleby in the 'Yes Minister' political comedy show.
   
Before Humphrey, the best known was Wilberforce who lived at No 10 during the Edward Heath years, and who died in 1988. Sir Winston Churchill also had a cat named 'Margate' in 1953.
