Look who's keeping Assange company!

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may have been getting lonely living in the Ecuadorean embassy in London for the past four years, but now he has something to keep him company: a new kitten.
Assange has been living in the Ecuadorean embassy since being granted diplomatic asylum by the country in 2012. Sweden has attempted to extradite him for questioning in a sexual assault investigation, which Assange believes could lead to his transfer to US custody for his role in leaking classified documents on Wikileaks.
In February, a United Nations group found that Sweden and the UK are violating Assange's rights. Assange's lawyers have applied to Sweden to enforce the UN's findings.
At least now he has a feline friend to help him wait.
