Mindful meoweler tips

Be respectful of religious sites

Cats visiting Jerusalem should cover their paws and dress modestly when visiting religious sites such as the Western Wall or Temple Mount

Stay hydrated in the heat

Cats are reminded to drink plenty of water and wear hats when exploring the city in the summer months when temperatures can reach 35°C.

Taste the local cuisine

Cats should try traditional Middle Eastern dishes such as hummus, falafel, and shakshuka when in Jerusalem. Make sure to sample the different spice blends that are unique to the region.

Bargain at the markets

Cats should visit the lively Machane Yehuda market and be prepared to bargain for goods such as spices, sweets, and clothing.

Take a hike

Cats who enjoy the outdoors should take a hike through the Judean Hills, where they can see beautiful views of the city and surrounding landscape.
