Cats of the World Photo Exhibition

Calling all feline lovers!

The Cats of the World photo exhibition is back for 2011. It takes place at The Arts House and features 50 photographs contributed by photographers from around the world — all starring cats! Ain’t that just purrrrfect?

First, there was Ceiling Cat, then came along his archenemy Basement Cat.

Now, behold the Singapore version — Void Deck Cat!

In land-scarce Singapore, even cats have taken to living in “apartments”. Spotted in Tiong Bahru!

You can keep a dog; but it is the cat who keeps people, because cats find humans useful domestic animals. – George Mikes

Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat. – Mark Twain

  Hi Veron,
  where do I purchase the photos?
  I just visited the exhibition earlier today and don’t seem to see anyone selling the postcards and photos?
  Also, are last years’s post cards and photos still available?
  Cheers,
  Alvin

Heh I like that Turkish cat the most. The pose makes it look very curious like all cats are!
The kitten in the first pic just makes me wanna pick him up and bring him to a warm home and shower him with love!

  The first image is my favourite, too! Look where the poor baby is… he’s so in need of love!

Nice photo spread of all the cute and cuddly felines. They somehow have this calming Zen-like quality to them, even in the midst of sleeping in a ramshackle and dilapidated accommodation. We must all strive to find that inner Felix in all of us. :)
