I was sorry to hear that Palmerston, Chief Mouser to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 2016 to 2020, died on the 12th aged 11-12. That cat was probably one of the few figures in Downing Street who was doing their job properly! #RIP #Palmerston #RIPPalmerston

Cousin #Palmerston we read about your your passing and send condolences to all loved ones.

I too am retired and hoping to celebrate my 20th birthday (100 in cat years) in April this year.

RIP Palmerston the cat.

I remember his early morning visits to my office, once leaving half a mouse on the desk as a gift!
