Politics aside, I just adore cats being employed as civil servants. Every time I hear or search about Larry or Palmerston, I feel extraordinary joy

[@marissashantez6051]

me too.

[@stacysatterfield2154]

I love seeing the Mousers real patriotic felines. From a cat lover in USA

[@queuna]

The cat who fights with Larry!

[@mastertemple8369]

Yeah I saw him fight with Larry...Hilarious!

[@csw4ak]

Larry is a creampuff.

[@fiasco348]

Larry's old and out of shape, the Palmerston camp want more money for this fight to happen.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

Lord Palmerston :" silence, you commoner" paw-slaps larry

[@ipsygypsy16]

They had the Aristo-cat Larry. And now they have Palmerston, the Bureau-cat. Ahh...The English and their feline...

[@superduck6456]

Don’t forget about Gladstone the cat.

[@nictheartist]

Well, Larry is still around, he lives at Number Ten.

[@harperwilson1595]

Larry is still there. Poor larry

[@iimxblslife6282]

We also have a Diplocat- He is" Ambassador Extraordinary" to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

[@belalabusultan5911]

this man's job is to track Palmerston progress and pet him from time to time. BEST JOB EVER.

[@papiharpy7547]

Cats, serving the country since before we realised it.

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

Our ginger tabby Baby rules our roost as she is spoilt!

[@michaelward9880]

Palmerston is grand example of a tuxedo cat! What a handsome boy!

[@destroyerself]

A dog sits on the throne (one of the queen's corgis), while the cats sit on parliamentary.

[@littlebean1556]

that's why they say cats are masterminds

[@notesfromthefield1025]

Lol yes, really says something

[@michaelsims1160]

The dog is a figurehead dupe while the cats pull the levers of power. Remember who has to wear a leash.

[@adolflenin4973]

@@notesfromthefield1025 I still can't understand

[@elsjemassyn8921]

Where all the REAL decisions are made

[@TXMEDRGR]

It's good to know the British have a hard working civil servant.

[@adminvestorservicesinterna3585]

I had the great privilege of meeting Palmerston at the FCO when attending a diplomatic function there. Our meeting was quite by accident...I was coming up the main stairs when suddenly he appeared at the top. He was extremely friendly and allowed me the great honour of stroking him. A credit to the FCO...👏👏👏

He was escorted out of downing street by police

[@Adventuregirl96]

You always feel special when the cat decides to sit in your lap over others.

[@endor8witch]

the drama with larry and palmerston has been on going. how can we as a nation be at peace when downing street can't keep their house in check

[@vipaoden]

The cat have a better life than most people. Stable job, free food and shelter

[@krystynach.6084]

Palmerston! We love you indeed ♥

[@miaomiaochan]

Sad to know that he retired a few years ago. I hope he's happy, wherever he happens to be.

[@Galaxie7230]

He retired?!?! 😢

[@panamapatti3364]

Mouse catching might improve if you take off the bell. If the mouse hears the cat coming, his ability to catch the vermin is greatly reduced.

[@Ntyler01mil]

I think it's mostly about scaring away the mice.

[@freeman2399]

He's probably learned to hunt with the bell, keeping his head still while hunting, we put a bell on my cat and he learned fast how to hunt with the bell.

[@zerofighterfairy]

The bell invoke fear and trauma on rats and might become urban legend in Rat's sewer.

[@kgrimes4934]

It's a balancing act esp if he thinks Birds are more delicious. The bell is an effective warning system for most birds while for most mice that hear the bell, it will be the last thing they'll ever hear.

[@시칼랴]

My mother has always told me that the mere smell of a cat chases mice away. It's seems there is scientifique evidence for that : www.bbc.com/news/10117428#:~:text=Cats%2C%20rats%20and%20other%20predators,urine%20they%20react%20with%20fear.

[@lilylin1805]

What a beautiful little employee!

[@mikekeenan7760]

hes certainly dressed for the job

[@Maaarrina]

Tuxedo Palmerston is often seen fighting Larry the Downing Street chief mouser :)

[@mossmonaco9061]

Beautiful kitty, loyal and always dressed for action.

[@patriciabracken7546]

He is a proper Bureau...Cat.... Palmerston.. Is a handsome bundle of fur.. 💖💕💟💞💓💝💗👍

[@littlebean1556]

I get a bit of Arsenal vs Liverpool type of rivalry between the two famous cat FCs at their respective govt offices, what with Sir Simon dotingly throwing British shade on Larry with Palmerston's "performance indicators" and popularity as govt employee lolol oh lawd this is great! I want more. Also, I'd vote for these guys seeing their genuine love for kitty :) Bless you, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for all your good work towards rescuing these lovebugs!

[@truthseeker9975]

Wow, his white markings are gorgeous. I love him so much more because he came from Battersea Cats and Dog's Home. I would never, never buy an animal - I think it's totally wrong when so many need homes. Just look at the PM's dog - he's cute beyond words and he's a rescue too!

[@NLaertes]

House of Commons: We see an increase in expenditure from the Foreign Office, predominantly from the mousing department. How do you account for that? Foreign Secretary: Lord Palmerston's been busy...

[@Bergen98]

The true foreign Secretary of the UK and maybe the future Chief Mouser (maybe that is why he is fight with Larry)

[@jisukim5333]

What a cat in a manner. It is always in suit, dressed up

[@Nicki-jk9th]

He's very elegant

[@helenel4126]

If only all civil servants were as dedicated to their work!

[@TheBorzoilover]

Very beautiful cat.

[@Mintmakeup]

Amo a los Gatos 🐈‍⬛, thank you Lord for these precious animals, they truly help us to cope with stress and loneliness

[@ardiffley-zipkin9539]

He is a cool cat. Stays inside to keep watch.

[@celinne700]

He is a hottie. Canada loves Palmerston.

[@lindajohnson6082]

They are both Absolutely gorgeous

[@sgt6711]

Palmerston always fighting with larry!

[@josedanielvillegas4475]

Quite a long way cats have traveled, from non formal rodent catchers in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, to official pest keepers in goverment palaces. Good for these furry friends, and good for their human employeers who still treat them as beautiful pets.

[@muriellecamus3898]

Hello kitty Palmerston!.😻

[@FloraWaze]

The way Palmerston is better at catching mice than larry though 😹

[@stacysatterfield2154]

I love Tuxedos and Palmerton is beautiful

[@Lizarthur63]

Love this!

[@annabelledoulton2421]

He's smiling. He's handsome looking.

[@moonwalkdreamer]

Good to see someone's doing their job there.

[@HydroSnips]

Man, we are a bonkers lot if you think about it. “Chief Mousers”, tabloid stories, rumours of plots and cat coups. Utterly utterly mad. Awesome of course yes, but barmy.

[@isabellabuchanan3446]

Wouldn't be without it. A stress reducer for a few minutes!

[@Maaarrina]

It’s a fun tradition if I could say at least from a foreigner’s pov.

[@jonathanfraser321]

Yes, thats how we do things in Britain. Its why we havent turned into dictatorships a. It works!

[@professorlazza3882]

Don’t mess with Larry!

[@mariettadominguez4920]

What a joy ! ❤❤❤

[@sunayakong8537]

I see there is a tiny notch out of his ear. Is that when he and Larry had their scrap.

[@elsjemassyn8921]

My favoirite cat including Larry of course

[@Salazar777]

Keep Up the good job "Palmerston"!🧐

[@wilmaalyesandraamat4869]

This cat has a higher rank than me..

[@kyleterry5190]

If lord humpfrey was still in 10 downing street then I'd bet chief palmerston would be the epitome of gentlemanly decorum, refraining from starting rows and scuffles

[@lindadavies6109]

So when is HRH going to infer a knighthood on Palmerston?? 🐾🐾

[@lindadavies6109]

@martin corderoy Ohhh I see. I was not aware of that. Naughty kitty...

[@abhayn1895]

If Larry is assassinated, you know you did it

[@mashadulislam5586]

This cat looks like Batman.

[@san8524]

My cat catches more than twenty mice a year, problem is they’re all mice that she actually brings into the house from the garden!

[@explorer0213]

It's her way of thanking you for feeding her now she's returning the favour and feeding you!

[@sunayakong8537]

I had a cat that did that, unfortunately for the rat I also had a jack Russell terrier. Unfortunately for me I had 2 am wake ups of cat and dog chasing a rat behind my grandfather clock. 😅

[@kimwilliams7051]

Cute cat

[@lindajohnson6082]

He’s gorgeous ❤

[@bernardwanjohi7201]

They keep squaring up with Larry

[@simon0674]

Palmerston the Only Civil Servent that is not Overpaid and Underworked.

[@RachelIn179]

Lovely. Palmerston is dignified cat I think and would like greatly to have an alliance with Larry, however Larry simply will not have it! 1:44

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Doesn’t the bell reduce his mousing abilities?

[@batterseadogsandcats]

Haha you could have a point there. ;)

[@iTube22100]

Of course it does. Besides that it is annoying for the cat himself

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

He's a handsome lad!

[@SuperBuckwheat11]

He looks like Batman.

[@jasonfrancis698]

Do You Know Why He Challenges Larry To Be In Number 10 Downing Street? Cause He Is CATMAN! (Joke) 😉

[@redmustangredmustang]

Pitt the Elder

[@jldisme]

Palmerston is wearing a bell. Why would they put a belt on him if they want him to catch mice?

[@katebogarin]

He was really a rebel and said well Larry isn’t here. I don’t care I’m going in.

[@gatinhababydollaraujoemama7535]

Palmerston os beautiful cat

[@wendelynanderson9517]

I love Palmerston almost as much as Larry.

[@tommiterava5955]

One of the dislikes must be from Larry, the Chief Mouser of 10 Downing Street.

[@pennylane9730]

Sir Simon Seems a nice man .

[@cosmickitty5693]

And he's just as handsome as Larry is. I love them both from afar....sigh....❤

[@bhagyashritupsakhare4017]

Don't call him Servant... You are the servant he is the Boss..

[@pommiebears]

Palmerston and Larry (#10 Downing St), had a fight. They don’t like each other lol.

[@mvl6827]

More Palmerston please! But I believe he is “retired” now? Already?

[@jonathanfraser321]

Alas Palmerston had health issues and got early retirement. That's the official line. Actually he was a convinced remainer and Larry was committed to getting brexit done. Larry prevailed. On one occasion Palmerston got into number 10 . Security, at the urging of Larry, expelled him

[@Wenchework]

Larry:Yesss another vermin remuved

[@gunfoogunfoo2287]

So my cat will be named Molotov now!

[@maruftim]

20 mice a year is really impressive

[@mrheru8627]

oi... palmerston, you're larry enemy...!!!

[@juanrodarte5005]

With Palmerston in service all rats start scrambling, both 4 and 2 legged rats.

Aren't Palmerson and Larry in some blood-feud?

[@forgottenartist36]

*Larry the opposition disagrees that this cat is the best civil servant for the empire*

[@martineinfrance]

Beautiful kitty 🐈 but what happened to Larry ? Did he retire ? I hope he is well.

[@jonathanfraser321]

Larry, Im pleased to say is still Chief Mouser and resides at number 10. I saw him earlier this week on a news broadcast, accompanying Boris out of number 10; He has now on his third prime ministerl

[@martineinfrance]

@@jonathanfraser321 thank you, he must be aging by now!

[@jonathanfraser321]

Larry was a stray so we dont know how old he is. He's believed to be about 15- which is respectable.

[@martineinfrance]

@@jonathanfraser321 thank you!
