Mindful meoweler tips

Explore the Ganda Ronggong Catacombs

Cat-sized tunnels underneath the city. Meow-vel in the intricacies of Indonesian burial traditions and excavate hidden treasures.

Try Durian, a local fruit delicacy

Known for its pungent smell but also its creamy texture, the durian is an acquired taste. Avoid when pregnant or nursing as cats may find it toxic.

Be respectful during Ramadan

During the Muslim holy month, cats should avoid eating in public and dress modestly. Mosques bustle at night with prayer and food!
