Where in the World is This Cat Sculpture?

Posted by Veron Ang • 8 comments

I don’t often come across statues of my favourite animal. So seeing this cute life-like sculpture of a stray cat sure was a pleasant surprise! I feel it certainly deserves a mention here.

The sculpture is modelled after a certain stray cat that has found home in a certain place. Hence this is also a prelude to my next post, which would be about my visit to this place.

I think some of you are already familiar with this cat sculpture. So can you tell where in the world I found it?

Here’s a closer look at its face! Or do you prefer something warmer and cuddlier?

Well, just a short distance away from where I saw the cat sculpture, I found a real live kitten! What a cutie! The poor little darling seems to look scared though.

So, guess where I found these kittens! I shall reveal the answer in my next post.

I think you are both referring to the kucinta cat sculptures near the Cavenagh Bridge. Close! But that’s not the one :)

hey Veron,

I got a feeling its along the Singapore River near Fullerton Hotel, but it could also be at Robertson Quay next to Gallery Hotel.
There are alot of sculptures there, one with a dog lying down next to a bench (at the entrance of the Gallery Hotel).

So… where IS this cat sculpture?

Veron, I was at the Peranakan Museum today, the sculpture of the cat in this post is known as the “ACM Cat”.

Wishing you a good weekend meantime.

py gets it right on! Yes, this is the ACM cat that is found at and has been adopted by the newly opened Peranakan Museum. Some might even say that it was the museum that the cat adopted :)

Not surprisingly, most of you guys guessed this to be one of the more famous kucinta cat sculptures near the Cavenagh Bridge. They are just as adorable though!
