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.
