Britain’s top feline diplomat has come out of retirement for a new job. Palmerston, former Chief Mouser to the Foreign Office, is now the U.K. chief four-legged representative in Bermuda. The news was posted on Wednesday on Palmerston’s official DiploMog account on X. It comes more than four years after it was announced he was retiring from public life to a “quieter and easier” life in the countryside. Palmerston was adopted by Foreign Office diplomat Andrew Murdoch, who has now been appointed governor of the British territory of Bermuda. The Foreign Office said Palmerston “will attend only the meetings he deems important, offering advice when necessary and indulging in well-earned naps.”
Used to scribble a likeness of a cat with the letters "M", "O", and "Q" lined up in a column.
Since "Q" could be replaced by a florid "G", had thought that might be the origin of "moggy", but seems to have been just me...
Web search came up with:
"...believed to have originated from the term “Maggie,” which was a common name for female cats..."

Shudder to think we could have ended up with "Moggy Thatcher"😬

Happy Caturday! from the heated cup holder of my espresso machine. Sometimes it's used for making coffee. But mostly it's for me.
