Kuching Cat Museum

Kuching is known as the "Cat City", and its name comes from the Malay word for cat, kucing. The Kuching Cat Museum, known locally as the DBKU Cat Museum, celebrates that feline identity with around 2,000 artefacts that trace the history of cats, from a mummified ancient Egyptian cat to cat porcelain, feline advertising and cat-themed art.

The museum sits on Bukit Siol in Petra Jaya, on the lobby floor of the Kuching North City Hall headquarters, with views over the city. It is open daily from 9:00am to 4:30pm, except on public holidays.

DeHome Boutique Hotel is about 5.6 km from the museum, around a 20-minute drive by car, taxi or ride-hailing car.
