Kuching means 'cat' to most Malaysian ears, and the city leans into it with love — nowhere more so than at the Cat Museum, crowning Bukit Siol in Petra Jaya inside the Kuching North City Hall. You enter, naturally, through a giant cat's mouth.
Inside are thousands of exhibits spanning every feline angle imaginable: ancient Egyptian cat lore, Malay proverbs and folk beliefs, cat stamps, advertising, art and curiosities from around the world. It is gloriously quirky, family-friendly, and utterly Kuching.
