Malaysia's 'Cat City' home to several large cat statues

KUCHING, Malaysia, April 22 (UPI) -- A visitor to a Malaysian town nicknamed "Cat City" captured footage of the municipality's namesakes: a variety of large cat statues.

The video shows most of the cat statues that adorn the city of Kuching, which is the Malay word for "cat."

The footage features about a dozen of the unusual cat statues.

The city celebrates cats in other ways, as well -- the local radio station is known as "Cats FM" and the city is host of Malaysia's only Cat Museum.
