Mindful meoweler tips

Watch out for tram tracks!

Be careful when walking around the city, especially if you're a curious little cat. Trams run through many streets and their tracks can be dangerous to paws.

Cannabis is legal but public smoking is not.

While it may be legal to smoke cannabis in coffee shops and designated smoking areas, it's important to remember that smoking in public areas is illegal and can result in a fine.

Bicycles are everywhere.

Amsterdam is known for its bike culture, so cats should be aware of bikes everywhere when roaming the streets. Look both ways before crossing and be mindful of bike lanes.

Cheese, cheese, cheese!

Be sure to try some famous Dutch cheeses while in Amsterdam. Gouda, Edam and Leyden are just a few of the varieties to enjoy during your visit.

The red light district is a tourist attraction, but be respectful

While it's interesting to see, it's important to remember that the Red Light District is also a place of work for many humans. Being loud or taking photos is considered disrespectful.
