If these images of taxidermied cats don’t give you nightmares, then either you are a ginger, or you don’t have a soul. Oxymoron? The town of Kuching in Sarawak, Malaysia was overrun with cats in the 1830s, thus the name of the city literally just translates to “cats”. Lesbians everywhere can rejoice, because Sarawak also hosts one of the world’s largest and most ridiculous tributes to pussy; The Cat Museum.
In order to enter the museum you have to walk through the giant mouth of a cat. Inside, there are almost 2,000 different artifacts including paintings, statues, photos of cat-toos (cat+ tattoo, clearly), and the horribly disfigured taxidermied corpses of many cats, obviously preserved by Helen fucking Keller.
Seriously, looking at these stuffed cats makes me thankful that I wasn’t born in Malaysia (even though my mother was).
If you find yourself in the land of never-ending sweatshops, you might consider stopping by the museum of cats just to check it out, especially if you are one of those women whose mothers have given up trying to set them up on dates with her friend’s sons. Hint: your bridge club membership kit is in the mail. You might as well start stocking up on pussies now.
