Giant Rat Mural, 101 Lost Kittens project

Giant Rat Mural, from 101 Lost Kittens project of Artists for Stray Animals, ASA (1 June 2013)


The Giant Rat Mural (GPS: 5.41418, 100.33872) is an accompanying artwork to the Giant Cat Mural along Armenian Street Ghaut, in George Town, Penang. I initially thought it was created by the same group of artist who call themselves ASA, or Artists for Stray Animals, and it forms part of then project known as 101 Lost Kittens. However I later learned that the rat mural was in fact created by an anonymous artist.

The Giant Rat Mural depicts a giant rat, not unlike Remy from Ratatoille. He appears to be hiding around the corner, away from the pussy cat on the adjoining wall. Both can be viewed together as one, showing that the two are almost eyeing each other.

Getting there

The Giant Rat mural is located on a wall at Armenian Street Ghaut, within walking distance from the Weld Quay Ferry & Bus Terminal. From there, cross Weld Quay by the pedestrian bridge, then turn left and walk along Weld Quay until junction of Armenian Street Ghaut (Gat Lebuh Armenian). Go along Armenian Street Ghaut, past the intersection of Victoria Street, and you will arrive at the mural on your right.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
