Kuching is the state capital of Sarawak, Malaysia. It occupies a position on the Sarawak River. Kuching translates as “Cat” in Malay, often known as the Cat City. There are a number of cat statues and related items around, including a Museum of Cats. The riverside of Kuching has undergone large redevelopment in recent years, assisting in increased tourism as well as amenities for local residents. The city is often an entry point to Borneo for those wishing to go into the rain forests.
