"There are lots of museums.” That is what everyone said when they heard we were going to Kuching, Sarawak. They were not wrong; there are no less than seven museums in the city. 

“Kuching” means “cat” in Malay. As the city has adopted the feline as its emblem, you will find giant cat statues decorating roundabouts and even a Cat Museum that is a fount of information on cats.
