Palmerston, the British Foreign Office cat, is heading for retirement after spending years catching mice for the diplomats 🐱

Writing to the more than 100,000 followers on his Twitter feed, the black and white moggy, who once lived at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, said he wanted to spend more time relaxing away from the limelight.

“I have enjoyed climbing trees and patrolling the fields around my new home in the countryside,” he wrote to the Foreign Office’s most senior civil servant, Simon McDonald, signing off with two paw prints.There will be no wider reshuffle as Larry the cat remains on Downing Street whilst fellow feline Gladstone retains his post at the finance ministry.

Is this 'code' for what happened to everyone of my childhood pets? I assume he'll be running around chasing bunnies as well?

makivoi As I ate my dinner earlier I became aware of EXTREME noise from the crows. I looked out, there was a black and white cat prowling about, so I dashed out, roaring. I hope things aren't already that hard for Palmerston?

BOM DIA, COM CELESTE DOM... E EM PLENA PAZ, AQUI E ALÉM... COM SÁBIA POESIA... OH, QUE GRANDE ALEGRIA, COMO NESTE EXATO INSTANTE... FATO! SEXTA, DE NOVO!? COM CERTEZA, COM FARTA CESTA DE 'ARROZ, FEIJÃO E OVO'... OH, QUE ENORME SATISFAÇÃO, COM AMOROSO (E FAMOSO?) CORAÇÃO!

There goes the brains of the operation.

MauiMeow00 Ambitious cat, I love it. 😆

That is so modest of his highness

Good for Palmerston! I wonder how old he is? My Cassie is nearly 20 and she traded the Adirondack Mts. for the warmth of Florida. However, she likes the state far more than I. 😊

Handsome 😍😍😍

No doubt DominicCummings will be replacing this distinguished Whitehall civil servant with yet another unqualified crony. boris brexit cat help

This cat always stands at our door. I think she might be a good caliph. Take her..

They should have bought a bigger cat .. maybe a tiger or leopard to catch the rats going in and out of No.10

I wonder if she will get pension?

How does retirements work for cats? Do they get retirement pension?

KatiePhang Good to see something in this government is working to help the people.

Rumor has it that he was forced out. For being too proficient at his job

That is something profound im cucumbers scare cats shirt

I have a cat that looks just like Palmerson, her name is Kitty❣😍❣ her feet were cold😂😂

What greater gift than the love of a cat. Lol Enjoy your retirement, Parlmerston. 🤷🏻

Well done, a considerably better performance than Boris.

So handsome

Send him to Number 10 to help Larry get rid of all the rats hiding in the cabinet!

Pity-only one who had any sense in Whitehall. Met him once-ignored me in typical cat style🤣🤣🤣🤣

He must be arrested, perhaps he is a terrorist

We need bigger cats to catch the critters in there xx
