Mindful meoweler tips

Indonesian etiquette

Cats should always remove their shoes before entering someone's home and avoid pointing with their paws.

Tongkoko Nature Reserve

Home to the Tarsius spectrum, the smallest primate in the world, and Sulawesi black macaques, this reserve is a must-visit for adventurous cats.

Sulawesi cuisine

Cats should try the local specialty, tinutuan, a porridge made of rice, corn, and a mix of different vegetables.
