The Museum of a Cat Lover's Dreams Exists in Real Life, and Crazy Cat People Are Flocking There
Cat lovers finally have a real-life destination that feels made for them, and it is not just a corner of a larger museum. KattenKabinet in Amsterdam is entirely cat-themed, with cat paintings, sculptures, posters, and even live cats wandering around the space.
The museum was founded in 1990 by William Meijer, a wealthy cat lover who created it to honor the memory of his cat, Tom. That personal origin story gives the place a surprisingly sweet backstory.
Now cat people are making the trip to see it for themselves, and the museum has become a must-visit stop for anyone who thinks one cat is never enough.
Also, this takes me back to the rescue cat who lost his eye, then found a temporary home with lots of fellow feline friends at a cat café in Rescue Cat Loses His Eye.
The museum is incredibly impressive! It looks and feels like a "normal" museum. It even has works by Picasso for you to admire!
The museum has been converted from a house. The museum occupies the lower floor, while the owner and their family still live upstairs. There are four rooms to walk through.
There's even a gift shop that is full of cat merchandise (and who can get enough of that)!
Plus, as if it couldn't get any better, there are actual cats wandering through too!
