My family asked me what I was grateful for this year and if I had any festive wishes. I can assure you I did not wish for these outfits.🙄 I felt grateful for my soft thick fur, and my wish was to send warmth out into the world. Plus a meow-tini, shaken not stirred. Palmerston 🐾

After slightly indulging over Christmas, I'm having a quiet New Year's Eve with my (annoying) sister Lyra.

Dearest friends, with and without fur, I wish you all a happy Christmas. It’s been a strange year, but I hope yours has been filled with love and laughter. Adoring subjects provide for all my needs, and I’m sure you’ll agree that with daily walks I’m looking even more fabulous.

Enjoying my first Christmas in my new family home. Hoping Santa Paws left me some Dreamies under the tree xxx

The Minister handed Palmerston back to Kay & cheerfully headed for her shiny black car. As Ms Nero waved goodbye, she was not sure what had just happened. But she admitted that @foreignoffice’s latest employee might not be so bad after all. Palmerston was a diplomatic superstar!

Just after lunch, Kay heard the loud voice barking orders at someone having difficulty keeping up: “You will clear this area. Guards must prevent people wandering through.” As she entered Kay’s office, Ms Nero frowned: “This place will have to be tidier when the minister visits.”

Kay wasn’t sure if official visitors would like Palmerston; she kept him out of sight when ambassadors came to see Simon. But one day she noticed the Japanese looking sad & asked if he was OK. “I told my children I would get a photo of Palmerston; they will be disappointed.”

“We need a cat!” Simon said, staring at a hole in his carpet. Normally he made decisions about foreign policy but the Foreign Office mice could no longer be ignored. Kay, his assistant, looked doubtful: “We’ve never had a pet here. Who would look after him when we went home?”

THREAD 📖 📚
Before my retirement, I want to share a short story about my adventures @foreignoffice.
It’s in 26 tweets: 15 to be tweeted tomorrow, 11 on Wednesday. The story is fictional, as are the characters, except ME and my “owner” Simon, who wrote it...
