Cat stumbled upon a city of spice and culture, whiskers twitching with excitement. Meowed in approval at ancient temples and local delicacies.

Cat stretched out lazily in kraton's courtyards, paws resting on cool tiles. Purred contentedly in the city's vibrant arts scene.

Mindful meoweler tips

Beware of Spicy Food

In Yogyakarta, some foods can be quite spicy for a finicky cat. Be cautious when trying local dishes and ask for less spice if needed.

Respect the Sultan's Palace

Remember to show respect when visiting the Kraton or Sultan's Palace, by covering your fur and not using your front paws to take photos or touch sacred objects.

Bargaining in Markets

When shopping at local markets, it's common to bargain for the best deal. Use your charm and cat-like instincts to negotiate lower prices.

Be Mindful of Sacred Sites

When visiting temples like Borobudur and Prambanan, be mindful of the sacred nature of these sites and behave accordingly with your fellow cats.
