Kuching Cat Museum

The Kuching Cat Museum was established in 1993. As soon as you step into the museum, a waving white cat greets visitors, ushering them into the world of cats. Here, you can find almost everything related to cats—paintings, books, wood carvings, plush toys, souvenirs, and more. Even the American Garfield, Japan’s famous Maneki-neko (lucky cat), and China’s traditional cloth tigers have a place in the museum.

The museum also houses a cat cemetery, explains the origin of the name "Kuching" (which means "cat" in Malay), and explores the role of cats in ancient times. Even the singer Elvis Presley gets a nod thanks to his nickname "the King," which has a feline ring to it. The museum features numerous exhibits about all kinds of cats, collecting every possible piece of cat-related information. It’s truly a wonderful place where cats from around the world gather, making it ideal for cat research. For cat lovers, once you step into this museum, you’re bound to be enchanted and never want to leave.

The Cat Museum displays all kinds of cat-related photos, paintings, stories, ornaments, and sculptures. Additionally, it also explains how Kuching got its name and the role of cats in ancient times. It can be said that anyone unfamiliar with cats will become a cat expert just by visiting the museum.
