DBKU Cat Musuem Part 1 - SiewPeng and Cats 01

This is the famous Cat Museum in Kuching, Sarawak. It is located on a hill overviewing Kuching City called Bukit Siol. It was founded in 1993 and is owned by the Kuching North City Hall (DBKU). The picture above is the entrance to the museum. It’s a huge cat’s jaw but don’t worry, you are not about to be eaten but you are going to have an exciting adventure and gain a lot of knowledge about cats in no time.

There are about 2000 exhibits, artifacts and statues being displayed here. Behind us is a lovely white cat couple statue. It is the Kitsch kitties in love.

This ‘cat’ looks familiar. It reminds me of the orange stranger except this one is much bigger. :) It even has his eyes. If it were a real cat, I think it could attack and eat human beings.

Aha! A Felis Silvestris Catus or better known as the Tortoiseshell Tabby Cat. There was one wandering in the garden end of last year and eventually gave birth to a few kittens who have now become our cats. :) We have adopted two of them.

This is suppose to be the same species I guess with the gesture of curiousity.

Ah…the great guardians. I don’t know if they are but I feel so. Our cats now look similar to the guardian on the left of the picture. They have those traits.

This is the mascot of a well known event in Kuching. It is called the Kuching Festival. It is being held annually for a month and sells different types of food found in Kuching. Some also call it a food fair. There are also other events happening during the festival although food is the main attraction.

Wished that you were a cat? You can become one here! :) Just put your face closer to the mask area so that you can get a better picture. A reminder from the admission officer at the front counter.
