In 2016, Julian Assange got a cat.

... Assange said at the time that the cat was a gift from his children.

That was probably another of Assange’s many lies and manipulations ...

As well as lying about the cat’s origins, he’s leaving it lying around while he attempts to undermine the world’s democratically elected governments one by one. A leaked memo published by Ecuador’s Código Vidrio states that Assange must take charge of the “well-being, food, hygiene, and proper care” of his cat. If this did not improve, the embassy said the cat would given to someone else or to an animal shelter ...

The fact that the cat doesn’t seem to have a proper name should have been among the first signs that Assange didn’t really care too much about it ...

Just throw it all out the front door and then escort Julian out with his arm pushed up behind his back. Let him find his own way home, for pete's sake.
