Palmerston

Palmerston, Diplocat extraordinaire, passed away peacefully on 12 February. “Palmy” was a special member of the Government House team in Bermuda, and a much loved family member. He was a wonderful companion, with a gentle nature, and will be sorely missed.

It's now a year since my paws touched down in beautiful Bermuda🇧🇲. Thank you for the cuddles, fan visits, letters, treats, and long undisturbed naps.

Have a Bermudaful Christmas🎄🎄Hoping for lots of treats today!!

PAWS...to remember those who served.

“Tea with Palmerston” was part of HRH The Duchess of Gloucester’s visit to Bermuda: surely it must have been the highlight.

After Hurricane Imelda passed my home in Bermuda, I am now exploring the windfall of giant Bermuda avocados.

My human helper is eager to watch David Attenborough’s film Ocean #OceanFilm. Apparently, we’re not looking after it well, and I'm now concerned about how fish in my food is caught! I think everyone should watch it and learn more about my wildlife friends. #WorldOceanDay

My helper, the Governor, visited the amazing Bermuda Centre for Creative Learning (BCCL). He came back with this lovely painting of me. It’s a purrfect likeness….I’m honoured and approve. #BCCL (BCCL photo courtesy of Akil Simmons at the Royal Gazette)

Here's one I made earlier. Ready to fly my kite on Good Friday - a tradition in Bermuda. Pulling the strings in Government House again... #Bermudakitemaster #Chatmore

I took time out of my busy day to welcome the new U.S. Consul General, Ms Antoinette Hurtado to Bermuda. We are going to be great friends. After this busy diplomatic work, I resumed my semi-retired consultancy lifestyle. @USConsHamilton @FCDOGovUK

Not sure about this look...Happy St. Patrick's Day!☘️

After a special request, I enjoyed meeting the incredible Lisa Reed❤️, Bermuda's 2025 Woman of the Year on International Women's Day, with my helper The Governor. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025

“Discovering Bermuda’s nature. Rare ground nesting Bermuda Petrels or Cahows and migrating Humpback whales. To all my wildlife friends - happy World Wildlife Day!”

Tomorrow is the general election in Bermuda. Exercise your right to vote! I’m involved in a local election of my own…leadership of my house: feeling confident.🐾

Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, is a beautiful archipelago of islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s approximately 21 square miles of land and 640 miles from the east coast of the US. Thanks to Sally at Fetchapet for taking care of me on my travels❤️

Diplomacy and a purr-fect role have lured me out of retirement. I’ve just started work as feline relations consultant (semi-retired) to the new Governor of Bermuda. I’ve been busy meeting very welcoming Bermudians @TheRoyalGazette @FCDOGovUK

Happy holidays! Excited about 2025. I've got my Dreamies packed, my fur is purrfect, and I'm ready for an adventure. Stay tuned for some exciting news. 🐾

I love Christmas but sometimes it's exhausting, so good to get out my ridiculous outfit, back to fur, and have a well earned rest. Wishing you all a happy and relaxing Christmas! 🎅🐾
