Once worshipped as divine beings in ancient Egypt, cats are getting their throne back in George Town, Penang.

Kucik Kucik Cafe, Malaysia’s first Egyptian-themed cat cafe, is where the felines reign supreme. Cats are treated like royalty once more, lounging, wandering, and accepting admiration from visitors.

Decked out in golden accents and Ancient Egypt motifs, the café feels like a trip back in time.

The themed premises house more than 20 pedigree felines from specific Abyssinian, Sphynx, Devon Rex, and Oriental Shorthair lines and operate as a strictly alcohol-free, pork-free facility.
