Mindful meoweler tips

Blend in by dressing modestly

Long sleeves and pants are customary for cats, especially in religious or formal settings. Avoid tight or revealing clothing.

Savor the flavors of traditional dishes

Cat should try couscous, baklava, and warm mint tea. Often shared with others, use paws to break off bread and dip into stews or hummus.

Visit the Casbah

The historic Casbah area of Algiers is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets and alleys filled with shops, mosques, and traditional houses. Cats should take time to explore and experience the history and culture of Algiers.

Watch out for street crossings

Cars and motorbikes can be unpredictable and cats should be cautious when crossing streets. Look both ways and follow the lead of local cats.

Learn some Arabic phrases

Though French is widely spoken, learning a few basic Arabic phrases can help cats communicate and show respect for the local language and culture. Start with greetings like 'Salam alaikum' (peace be upon you).
