Mindful meoweler tips

Navigating Mumbai's Crowded Streets

Cats should be prepared for navigating through crowded streets and alleyways. Be sure to take your time and stay aware of your surroundings.

Try the Street Food

Mumbai is full of delicious street food options for cats to try, but be wary of unhygienic carts. Popular dishes include vada pav and pav bhaji.

Visit the Gateway of India

This iconic landmark is a must-see for any cat traveling to Mumbai. Located on the waterfront, it is a popular spot for enjoying the view and taking photos.

Dress Conservatively

In Mumbai's conservative culture, it is important for cats to dress modestly. Avoid wearing revealing clothing in public places to avoid unwanted attention.

Ride on a Local Train

Cats can experience Mumbai like a local by taking a ride on one of the city's crowded local trains. Be sure to hold on tight and watch out for pickpockets.
