Palmerston, a cat employed by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Department as captor of mice, returned from leave for the first time in five months. It is reported that the cause of the leave is overeating and stress caused by the staff receiving too much food and being stroked too much.

The British Prime Minister's Residence has a tradition of 'keeping cats for exterminating rats' from around 1500. In 1924, a public office called ' Prime Minister's House Captive Rat Captain ' was prepared, and in addition to exterminating the rat, a cat who undertakes duties such as guest correspondence and inspection of sleeping comfort of antique furniture appeared. Since 2011, Larry has been appointed Captain of the Prime Minister's Residence, Captain Mouse. The following is the state of the rally at work.

On April 13, 2016, the British Foreign and Federal Ministry of Employment of Palmerston hired Palmerston as the first captain of the mouse in the ministry to incorporate the tradition of the Prime Minister's residence. Palmerston was two years old when he was appointed, originally living as a stray cat, and was selected to have lived in a facility protected by an animal shelter. The Foreign and Federal Ministry hired Palmerston because Palmerston had a 'bold and confident personality.'

Palmerston also has an official Twitter account.

Palmerston also posted a tweet celebrating ' Japan's Cat Day ', which was established after the word 'Nyan Nyan Nyan'.




On July 8, 2019, Palmerston suddenly declared summer vacation, saying, 'I will take the annual vacation I gained from working for three years.'




In fact, in Palmerston, in addition to the staff feeding too much and getting fat, they became too stressful to groom excessively, resulting in the loss of all forefoot hair. Such Palmerston was called summer vacation, and he was being treated at the secretary's house of Secretary-General Simon McDonald, who belongs to the Foreign Affairs and Federal Ministry.

On December 2, 2019, Palmerston returned after about 5 months of leave. Upon their return, they issued the 'Permaston Protocol' to protect Palmerston's own happiness.




The following four items are the 'Palmerston Protocol'.

1: Do not feed Palmerston unless you are an exclusive caretaker.
2: Even if you want to interact with Palmerston, let Palmerston choose 'whether to interact with humans'.
3: Secretary Vice-Minister McDonald's should be the 'Palmerston Command' and should be kept while Palmerston is in command.
4: Cats have the property of 'irritating when the territory is too wide', so watch over Palmerston so that you do not go out of the 'Permaston Zone' indicated on the sticker.




The British Telegraph, which reported this case, reported that it received a letter from Secretary-General McDonald's that 'Palmerston is doing well after returning.' Under Secretary McDonald's posted on Twitter on Twitter that Palmerston was lying on the floor of Palmerston Command on Twitter.
