Bobby Kertanegara (adopted 2017) is a domestic shorthaired tabby cat, known for being the pet of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. After being adopted as a stray at Prabowo's residence on Jalan Kertanegara IV, Jakarta, Bobby quickly became a familiar presence during political events and social media appearances. Following Prabowo’s inauguration as President on 20 October 2024, Bobby moved into the Merdeka Palace.[1]
