Kuching has one of the very few cat museums in the world. The museum houses material collected from and donated by countries from all over the globe, from an authentic ancient Egyptian mummified cat to the only mounted specimen of the world's rarest cat, the Felis Badia of Borneo. Aside from being great fun for cat lovers, the museum is also a research and knowledge centre outlining the history, legends and various cultural beliefs about cats.
Open daily 9am–5pm, including public holidays, except Mondays.
How to get there: The Cat Museum is located in the Kuching North City Hall, across the river in Petra Jaya. If you want to travel by bus, take the Petra Jaya Transport No. 2B or 2C.
