Mindful meoweler tips

Respect for elders

Cat elders in Jalalabad are highly respected and considered to be a source of wisdom. When visiting, be sure to show them the utmost respect and listen to their advice.

Modest clothing is a must

Jalalabad cats dress conservatively, and visitors should make sure to do the same. Cover your paws and tail, and avoid tight-fitting clothing.

Taste the local cuisine

Jalalabad is known for its delicious Afghan cuisine, so be sure to indulge in local dishes like qabuli palaw (rice with lamb and carrots) and mantu (steamed dumplings).
