Mindful meoweler tips

Respect local customs

Cover your paws and remove shoes before entering a cat's home. Purring is a sign of contentment, growling is a sign of anger.

Try the local cuisine

Yola is known for suya, a spicy meat skewer, and masa, a rice cake served with spicy sauce.

Take a stroll in the park

Benue State Park is a peaceful oasis, perfect for a cat nap. Look out for monkeys and baboons in the trees!
