KUCHING: The Kuching International Cat Festival 2026 will return to the Kuching Waterfront from Oct 2 to 4, featuring a line-up of international and community events aimed at strengthening the city’s reputation as the world’s renowned “Cat City”.
Preparations for the annual festival were among the matters discussed during a courtesy call by a delegation from the Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) on Dayang Norjihan Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg at the Satria Pertiwi Complex here today (July 28).
