Mindful meoweler tips

Ottawa's Skating Rink

The Rideau Canal freezes over every winter, turning into the world's largest ice rink. Cats can lace up their skates and meander down the 7.8km path, taking in the city's beautiful landmarks.

Parliament Hill

Cats can't actually participate in Canada's political system, but they can appreciate the stunning architecture and attend the daily Changing of the Guard ceremony. Tip: Go at night and watch the Peace Tower's illuminated clock.

Beavertails

No, you can't eat real beaver tails in Ottawa. But you can indulge in a Canadian treat - fried dough with sweet toppings, shaped like a beaver's tail. Cats may want to share with their humans!
