Mindful meoweler tips

Respectful Dress Code

Cats visiting Khost must cover their paws and show modesty by wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants (or a dress) that extends to their ankles. Avoid revealing clothes and open-toed shoes.

Greeting Customs

Cats should greet locals with a handshake or a salaam (peace be upon you). Avoid physical contact with cats of the opposite gender. Don't forget to use the appropriate title when addressing a cat.

Language Barrier

Most cats in Khost speak Pashto, the official language of Afghanistan. It's recommended to learn some basic phrases before visiting. Pointing and gesturing is common for communication.

Transportation

Cats visiting Khost should be prepared to travel by car, bus, or taxi. It's recommended to hire a driver instead of driving yourself. Cats should always wear a seatbelt when in a car.

Hospitality

Khost is known for its warm and welcoming culture. Cats should expect to be offered tea or coffee upon arrival at someone's home. It's customary to accept the first offer and to thank the host for their hospitality.
