WikiLeaks Says Julian Assange’s Cat Is Safe, Provides Video Evidence
Some good news for those worried about the fate of the WikiLeaks founder’s pet.

“We can confirm that Assange’s cat is safe,” WikiLeaks tweeted Saturday. “Assange asked his lawyers to rescue him from embassy threats in mid-October. They will be reunited in freedom.

The tweet accompanied a video of a cat that indeed looks very much like Assange’s pet, sitting in front of a TV playing footage of Assange’s Thursday arrest.

The cat began living with Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London as a kitten in 2016. Assange told The New Yorker in a 2017 article that the tabby was a gift from his children, though an anonymous source told the outlet that Assange had fabricated that story.

But Hanna Jonasson, a member of Assange’s legal team, had tweeted back in November that Ecuador had merely “threatened” to send the cat to a shelter, and that Assange had subsequently given the cat to his lawyers to take to his family.

I have been concerned about that cat and its good to know he's got a place to live.

3. Didn't you know that the cat is responsible for everything?

Julian is just one of the cat's minions.

2. The British let their cats out if the home is in a safe place. He's probably enjoying a lovely back

back garden right now.

pretty shitty.

13. The cat or Assange?

I'd be more interested in what the cat has to say.

[Adsos Letter]

17. That's what I meant.

My lame attempt at humor.

18. We've been talking about the cat. Screw Assange.
