Ecuador has ordered Julian Assange to stick to a new set of house rules, including avoiding contentious political issues, cleaning his bathroom and looking after his cat if he wants the internet reconnected.

In a nine-page memo, published by Ecuadorean website Codigo Vidrio, the WikiLeaks founder is prohibited from "interfering in the internal affairs of other states" or from activities "that could prejudice Ecuador's good relations with other states".

Mr Assange, who was granted asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London in 2012, was also told in the memo his pet cat would be confiscated and taken to an animal shelter if he did not look after it.

On Sunday, WikiLeaks said Mr Assange would be reconnected to the internet, but it was not clear whether the move was contingent on him agreeing to Ecuador's conditions.

Maybe he has outstayed his welcome.

1. He has a cat?

Is the cat being held as a prisoner?

Funny that they are acting like his mommy. He needs it.

5. They should kick the Assange Squatter out

What does the Assange Squatter do for the Embassy anyways?

What is his purpose for being there?

Why does the Ecuador Embassy get out of the deal?

Oh, wait...

7. When Assange walks from the embassy in 2020...

...since that is when the statute of limitations is up for the most serious charge, will people then admit that this was what it was always about? Him skirting a rape charge.

8. His big supporters here on DU sure have gone silent.

Guess they have moved on to voting their principles or seeing no difference between Republican's and democrats.
