The adopted cat of the President of Indonesia received personal security

The Indonesian president's cat received personal security, reports the South China Morning Post.

According to the publication, a cat named Bobby, who was adopted nine years ago by the current president Prabowo Subianto, is now considered part of state property. In this regard, security protocols provided for protected persons apply to him, which implies having personal escorts.

This decision has caused mixed reactions on social media. Many users criticized it, calling it an inappropriate use of public funds.

"Working hard so that a cat can be guarded? This is absurd," commentators are outraged.

Nevertheless, Bobby also found defenders.

"Better to guard a cat that brings joy than useless officials. Bobby helps homeless animals and lifts people's spirits," noted one user.

Bobby, a formerly homeless cat, has become a real internet celebrity: he has more than a million followers, and his popularity has long crossed the borders of Indonesia.
