Cats of Cambridge
![Poster advertising 'CATS OF CAMBRIDGE At the Meowseum [Museum] of Cambridge from 31 July to 5 October'. The light blue text contrasts the black background. There are various cats on and around the lettering: a maneki-neko or beckoning cat figurine, a card shaped like a black cat, a sepia-tone photograph of a cat, and a pair of sitting ceramic cats which are white with dark spots. In the top right corner there is a white Museum of Cambridge logo which includes an illustration of a historical building and the information 'Registered Charity 311309'. At the bottom there is a white 'Supported by' bar featuring logos for Menor 'THE UK'S FINE ART PRINTING & FRAMING SPECIALISTS', Cambridge Cat Clinic, Cambridge Veterinary Group, and Cambridge Cat Sitting Co. 'EST. 2021 TM'. The last three logos all have animals integrated into the designs.](https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Poster-1-post.png)
