What began as heartbreak has turned into something quietly beautiful for cat lovers in Mysuru. Sharath B.S. lost his pet cat Coco in a road accident about a year and a half ago, and the loss hit him hard. Coco wasn’t just a pet - she was family. In the middle of that grief, Sharath found himself looking for ways to understand cats better, and that search slowly led him to build something meaningful in her memory: Jin Min Cat World, India’s first amusement park and museum just for cats.

After Coco’s passing, Sharath went down a rabbit hole of research - what cats need to stay healthy, what they should eat, how to keep them safe at home, and how to read their behaviour. What started as a personal journey soon turned into an idea: why not create a place where other cat lovers could learn, connect, and feel a little less lost too? That idea became real just two weeks ago, when the cat museum opened its doors in Mysuru.
