WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is still fighting to remain relevant from inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London -- by dressing his cat up.

The kitty has been living in the building since his children gave him the pet in May, but on Monday morning it appeared just casually chilling in a collar and tie.

Embassy Cat, as its known, has already got its own Twitter and Instagram accounts -- but this is the first time it's been seen looking this smart.

All we know is that the dapper feline, whose interests include "counter-purrveillance," made the windowsill its runway and strutted its white shirt collar and red striped tie for the paparazzi.

Assange, who is wanted for questioning in Sweden over allegations of sexual assault charges, which he denies, has been living in the embassy since 2012 after being granted asylum.

On Monday he faced questioning from Sweden's chief prosecutor, something that could continue for the next few days.
