Resident cat of the Paya Shwedagon in Yangon, Myanmar. However, when this picture was taken, Yangon was still called Rangoon and Myanmar was known as Burma. The Shwedagon Pagoda is 99 meters high (325 ft) and completely gilded. It's the oldest pagoda in the world.
This cat picture was previously published in the photo book CHATS AUTOUR DU MONDE.
