Julian Assange has befriended a cute kitten while living in an Ecuadorian embassy

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been living in London's Ecuadorian embassy for four years, after being granted diplomatic asylum. Life must get awfully boring when you're staying put. Luckily, Assange's kids gifted him a kitten to keep him company, ITV News reports.

The kitten doesn't have a name yet, but its Twitter handle is in full swing:

Assange is wanted for questioning on sexual assault charges in Sweden. From there, he believes, he could be transferred to U.S. custody for questioning on his role in leaking classified documents.
