Mindful meoweler tips

Respecting local customs

In Kupang, it's important for cats to dress modestly and cover their fur, especially when visiting sacred places.

Beware of stray dogs

When roaming the streets, stay alert to avoid confrontations with stray dogs that might give you a little chase.

Savor local cuisine

Kupang has delicious seafood, such as grilled fish and crab. Don't miss out on sinking your claws into these tasty treats!

Carry cash

Not all places accept card payments, so make sure to have enough rupiah tucked in your fur for purchases.
