The personal cat of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Bobby Kertanegara, has officially been placed under state protection. A dedicated security detail has been assigned to the feline at the presidential residence in Jakarta, as Bobby is considered part of the presidential property.
Adopted nine years ago by the president, Bobby has since become a constant companion. While world leaders rarely publicize their pets, Bobby has broken that norm, becoming a well-known figure and even a social media star.
Bobby's Instagram and TikTok pages have nearly one million followers. His videos are warmly received both by locals and international cat lovers, making him an internet sensation.
Following the official decision, Bobby’s movements, feeding schedule, and rest areas are now supervised under a special security protocol. Additional surveillance cameras have been installed around the residence to ensure his safety.
The move has sparked debate among Indonesians. Some express surprise, while others view it as a sign of the president's compassion for animals.
This marks the first time in Indonesia’s history that a presidential pet has received such a formal status. Bobby is not just a protected pet now, but also a symbol of national affection and cultural identity.
