Peter was a cat who served as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom between 1929 and 1946. Whilst Peter was the second cat to serve in this role, he is often considered the first, as his predecessor, Treasury Bill, served for less than a year, and was not officially given the title. His newly limited diet proved effective at encouraging Peter to catch rodents. It was remarked that when the Home Office was relocated to Bournemouth during World War II, Peter's services were missed so much that they applied for allowances for the upkeep of two cats.

  • Peter was a cat who served as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom between 1929 and 1946. Whilst Peter was the second cat to serve in this role, he is often considered the first, as his predecessor, Treasury Bill, served for less than a year, and was not officially given the title. Peter is described as being a black cat, and was a resident at the Home Office at the time of his appointment. In 1929, the Treasury agreed to allow one penny daily for Peter's upkeep, which included his food and wellbeing requirements. Until the approved spending bill began to better regulate Peter's diet, civil servants had been bringing Peter an excess of food through the day, causing him to neglect his primary role of catching mice. His newly limited diet proved effective at encouraging Peter to catch rodents. It was remarked that when the Home Office was relocated to Bournemouth during World War II, Peter's services were missed so much that they applied for allowances for the upkeep of two cats. Peter was considered by civil servants to have performed "admirably" in his role. He served under five prime ministers in Conservative, Labour and coalition governments, during a period of British history defined by the Great Slump, World War II, and the break up of the British Empire. Peter's tenure defined multiple precedents for the Chief Mouser position, which have been emulated by his successors in the role. Peter and a later office holder Peter III are jointly the longest serving Chief Mousers since records began, both having served for approximately 17 years. (en)
  • 彼得(英語:Peter)是英國的一隻黑貓,內閣辦公廳的第二任首席捕鼠大臣,於1929年至1946年間就任該職。牠常被視為第一隻正式擔任此職位的貓,因為牠的前任財政比爾(Treasury Bill)任期尚不到一年,且未被正式授職。 1929年,英國財政部同意撥出每日一便士的費用,使內政部能夠畜養彼得。至1946年時,財政部不願再給年事已高、17歲的彼得提供津貼,於是彼得被迫退休,並在同年遭安樂死。其後,由一隻兩個月大的小貓彼得二世接替他的職位。 (zh)
