Mindful meoweler tips

Kananga is the capital of a province known for traditional Congolese music.

You'll hear live music played on local instruments by street musicians, in the parks, and at festivals. Don't be surprised if cats start to dance!

Art lovers should check out the Tshibumba Kanda Matulu Museum.

Learn about Congolese history and culture through paintings that depict important moments in the country's past. The museum's cat is always happy to give a tour!

If you're a cat who loves nature, visit the Kwango River.

Take a boat ride or just enjoy the view. You might see crocodiles or hippos! Remember not to disturb the wildlife.
