The Kuching Cat Museum is a unique attraction dedicated to all things feline, housing over 2,000 exhibits. Located on a hill at the Kuching North City Hall, the museum showcases cat artifacts from around the world, including statues, paintings, photographs, and even mummified cats from ancient Egypt. Visitors can learn about cat breeds, folklore, and the role of cats in Malaysian culture.
