The Chief Mouser to the Commonwealth is the official title of the resident cat at the executive office and residence of the President of Eulabia in Lunden. This enduring tradition traces its origins to the Kingdom of Sallia and was formally recognised during the subsequent Sallen Republic. The title was first officially created in 1802 by Carlo Cavallo, then President of Sallia, who appointed his cat, John "Snow", as the inaugural Chief Mouser.

Linked closely with Cavallo’s revolutionary policies, the position was abolished during the Restoration period that sought to dismantle his legacy after 1818. Although the title then lay dormant and was only used unofficially, it was officially revived in 2014 by President Oswald Mosley as a nod to its historical significance. From 2014 to 2020, the role was held by Sam. In 2020, Stella, Sam's daughter, began sharing duties with him, and has served alone as the chief mouser since 2020 after Sam retired due to "old age and decreased activity".
