Mindful meoweler tips

Sisu is key

Finns have a cultural concept known as sisu which means having strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. Cats visiting Helsinki should embrace this mindset as they explore and adapt to the city.

Sauna time

Saunas are a traditional and essential aspect of Finnish culture. Cats can visit a public sauna or enjoy one in their private accommodations to relax and soak in the heat.

Coffee breaks

Finns are fond of their coffee and Helsinki has a vibrant coffee culture. Cats can enjoy a cozy coffee shop or grab a cup of joe from one of the many street vendors around the city.
