Everyone’s favorite “counter-purrveillance” feline made an appearance at the front window of the Ecuadorian embassy while Julian Assange was being interviewed in the presence of a Swedish prosecutor.
Known as ‘embassy cat’, the tabby was even dressed for the occasion, wearing a shirt collar along with a red and white striped tie.

The pet was pictured curiously watching from the embassy window not long after Swedish representatives arrived to oversee the questioning of its owner regarding rape allegations.
During his stay at the embassy, Assange’s cat has been a trustworthy companion after being gifted to the WikiLeaks co-founder by his children earlier this year.
In its Twitter account, the pet has been known to get involved in politics, including the US elections.
