Respectful dress code
When visiting holy sites or attending formal events, cats should dress modestly and cover their paws. Wearing shorts or revealing clothing is not appropriate.
Famous castles
Gonder is known for its impressive castles, including the 17th-century Fasil Ghebbi. Cats should be prepared to climb stairs and explore the large complex.
Local food
Cats should try the popular traditional dish of injera, a sourdough flatbread served with spicy stews. Avoid touching the food with your paws and stick to using utensils.
