From the Wikipedia article
Wilberforce (c. 1973 – 19 May 1988) was a cat living at 10 Downing Street who was employed as the chief mouser to the Cabinet Office from 1973 to 1987. He served during the premierships of four prime ministers: Edward Heath, Harold Wilson, James Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher. In obituaries published shortly after his death he was described as the "best mouser in Britain".
