Mačak Palmerston, koji je zadnje četiri i po godine bio ljubimac britanskog ministarstva spoljnih poslova, vraća se na seosko imanje budući da je njegova "diplomatska misija" okončana.

Tviter nalog Palmerstona koji prati više od 100.000 pratilaca najavio je da se Palmerston povlači i da „je umoran od reflektora i da mu je potreban odmor“.

Objavio je da će mu nedostajati da čuje koračanje ambasadora i da brzo trči kako bi video ko dolazi.

At the end of August this year, the Foreign Office’s one and only @diplomog will be standing down in his post as Chief Mouser to begin a new life as a country cat.

Kada je reč o ostalim ljubimcima, mačak Leri ostaje na Dauning stritu, a isto važi i za Gledstona u ministarstvu finansija.
