Kotor Cats Museum

A must-see for cat lovers! 🐾 This quirky little museum is full of feline charm – both in the exhibits and around the building. It’s small, inexpensive, and supports the local cat community. The postcards, vintage cat prints, and funny signs are delightful! Don’t expect a big museum – it’s more like a cozy collection of cat-themed nostalgia. And yes, you’ll meet a few real cats hanging around the entrance or basking in the sun! No waiting time, perfect for a quick and charming stop in Kotor Old Town. Definitely worth a visit – especially if you’re traveling with kids or just a cat person at heart.

I just love cats. Its a Small and nice museum. It's so appreciated that they feed the cats of Kotor. Only 1€ for the tickets. Must visit if u have a cat pet. 🐈

It is a small but well organized exhibition of various pictures/stories/articles/prints involving cats. The little gift shop had a lovely selection of magnets and other items. I particularly liked that they support local efforts to help take care of the cities feline population. Cash only.

With only 1 Euro, you can visit this cat museum, there’s a lot of cats related painting and art inside the museum!! Would definitely recommend my friends who visit Kotor to come here! All the souvenir are so cute as well;)

Very small museum of cats in articles and images. €1 entry and a small gift shop. Perfect to support Kotor's cats

I had a lovely trip to the Kotor Cats Museum in June 2023. I was charmed by the quirky nature of fhe establishment which provides support to the multitude of (generally healhthy, happy, and well looked after) vagrant cats which reside in Kotor. The museum is small but oozes character; there isn't a spare inch on it's walls which are decked out with a vast range of depictions of cats engaging in a wide range if both contemporary and historical behaviours traditionally reserved for humans. A few personal favourites include Mewsi and Purnaldo, paint me like one of your french cats, and a depiciton of a ritual/torture style castration of a cat as if it were taking place in medieval England (all pictured below). Alongside this humour, there are a range of historicalky significant graphics which feature our furry feline friends - such as a WW1 propaganda piece by the Belgian armed forces depciting Germany as an evil cat assailant poised to do combat with the Belgian mouse (also pictured below). All in all this place is a great place to spend 20-30 minutes for cat lovers, art appreciators, and sports nuts alike.

The Cats Museum in Kotor gets a lot of hype, but our experience was disappointing. Yes, it’s inexpensive (1 euro) and some describe it as “well organized,” but what you actually get are two small rooms of cat-themed odds and ends like postcards, stamps, magazine clippings, and advertisements. The second room feels like a repeat of the first. There’s little depth, and overall it felt forgettable. The biggest letdown, though, was the gift shop. While some visitors may enjoy the magnets and trinkets, we were shocked to see posters in bad taste. Offensive items like that don’t belong in any museum, one where children and families visit, let alone one supposedly celebrating cats. It's in really bad taste. On the positive side, we did notice they support local efforts to feed and care for Kotor’s street cats, which is good to see. But honestly, if you love cats, you’ll have a much better time enjoying the real ones roaming the old town. The museum? Not worth the stop.

When you are in Kotor this is definitely a must visit place. You travel up for 11 minutes and 1300 meters, and it is worth every single one. The views are amazing both during the ride and when you get uphill. On the upper station there are in addition several attractions including alpine ride and hiking trails. On the lower station there is big parking, which costs 1 euro per hour.
