A seven-year-old cat named "Leon" will be the mascot of France Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo, according to the official Website of the country's Expo participation.
Officials described the cute and plump cat as "happy and vigorous." Leon is always ready to explore the mysteries of the world and sometimes forgets things like turning off the tap, the Website said.
Leon will interact with visitors at the pavilion known as the "Sensual City." It will feature classic French gardens, perfume, food, wine and fashion as well as modern urban achievements.
The Website earlier said French actor Alain Delon would serve as 2010 Expo ambassador for France.
