Balinese cats in art

Bali temple cat sculptures are exquisite, and many temples in Bali have them. My Kitty Care saw these cool Bali temple cat sculptures in Pemuteran, northern Bali. There’s several small, but lovely temples there: The Pulaki Temple, Pura Pabean and Pura Segara. Although these temples are visited by tourists, they are mostly used by the local Balinese.
