Mindful meoweler tips

Respectful Dress Code

Wear modest clothing and avoid tight-fitting clothes or revealing outfits. Avoid showing your paws and tail, especially in religious areas.

Watch out for the heat

Bring plenty of water and stay in the shade during peak hours. Cats love chilling in cool spots, so look for air-conditioned places!

Greet your hosts properly

In Jalingo, it is customary to greet your cat hosts with a handshake and a smile. Use the proper paw, don't use your left paw or touch people with it.
