CATS OF KUCHING, SARAWAK


The famous cat family statue
in downtown Kuching, Sarawak.

Kuching, Sarawak is probably the only city in the world named after the cat. The cat, naturally, is its official mascot. Somehow, we never saw that many cats, unlike in Georgetown (Penang) or Bangkok. There are very few stray cats to be found. Instead, many are well looked after, and accompany their human companions in their shops or workplaces. Here are a few cats we managed to see in our short trip. 

No, we did not visit the Cat Museum at Kuching's northern town hall. From we have learnt, it's full of kitsch besides being quite a long distance away from downtown Kuching. Downtown felines are what this page is all about!

What, me worry?

This florist shop on Wayang Street
looks after nine former stray cats.



It's feeding time!
