Mindful meoweler tips

Rainy weather isn't unusual

Bogor's nickname is The Rain City due to its frequent, heavy rainfalls. Cats should pack their raincoats!

The Presidential Palace is a must-visit

Located in the heart of Bogor and surrounded by a beautiful botanical garden, the palace is a symbol of Indonesia's history and culture. Cats can take a peaceful stroll around the palace grounds.

Bogor is famous for its culinary scene

Cats shouldn't miss out on trying traditional dishes like Nasi Goreng, Satay, and Semur. Street food is readily available and delicious! (But be careful about what you eat!)
