This kucing (cat) mural in Kuching, Malaysia

I stumbled across this captivating meowral by "Voyder" while exploring the beautiful capital city of Sarawak, Kuching on the island of Borneo.

My favourite (although apparently unlikely) theory on how Kuching city got it's name is a misunderstanding of the question "What is the name of this place?" as "What do you call that animal over there?". See wikipedia for more on the etymology. I'd love to hear from any locals on what the real deal is.

Malaysia has some amazing street art. I'd be happy to share some more from Kuching, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur if anyone's interested. Let me know in the comments.
