Mindful meoweler tips

Sunscreen is a must

The sun shines bright and cats can easily get sunburned. Apply sunscreen every two hours and stay hydrated!

Beware of street food

While it might smell delicious, street food can sometimes lead to upset cat stomachs. Stick with restaurants or food trucks with good reviews.

Learn some Spanish phrases

Even though many locals speak English, some Spanish phrases will help you communicate and make feline friends!
