Cats of Kuching
Wendy Gan
The word kuching in Malay means cat, so a city called Kuching must surely have cats. And cats we did indeed find.
Not just statues of cats...
And murals of cats...
But brazen felines who often make a kopitiam, or local café, their turf. These two below call a Malay dessert and snack place home.

This bold hussy was trying to break into a rojak stall.

Here is a tabby coolly wandering into an eatery looking for a bite. Serve me, please!
Is this a cat or an abstract piece of art?
We will need to return to give Kuching kitties further global exposure. The sassy cats of Kuching deserve it!
