Trolls fat-shame tom cat
Print Edition
AT the British embassy to Jordan, a former rescue cat is settling into his new position as chief mouser.
“Lawrence of Abdoun” is a fluffy black-and-white tom, named after British military leader T.E. Lawrence, who, has 57,000 followers on his Twitter account @LawrenceDipCat. Abdoun is in Amaan where the embassy is located.
“Apart from his mousing duties, he reaches out to followers on Twitter. What’s quite interesting is the British public are seeing the UK embassy in Jordan in a different light,” said Deputy Ambassador Laura Dauban. “Through Lawrence’s Twitter account we’re trying to show a different side to Jordan, what it is really like, a peaceful, prosperous country that British tourists should come and visit.” Lawrence has discovered the perils of social media, and has even been fat-shamed by trolls.
