“Julian was constantly battling for dominance, even with my tomcat Herr Schmitt,” Domscheit-Berg says in his book “Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World’s Most Dangerous Website.”

Now, now he really should be charged with treason. The cat’s name is Herr Schmitt, you guys! An intensely cute, but serious name, befitting of a creature with whom one should not trifle.

The “mad Australian” did not always come off best during his stay in 2009, however, with Herr Schmitt sometimes managing to “dispatch Julian with a quick swipe of the paw.”
