A QUEUE of glamorous visitors stood outside Shanghai Museum twitching impatiently, tails flicking and whiskers quivering as they waited to be let in for the institution’s inaugural ancient Egypt cat night.

Feline tickets for Saturday night’s event sold out within days, as Shanghai’s devoted pet owners seized the chance to share an educational experience with their animals – and share the photos on the mostly pedigree cats’ personal social media accounts.
