Mindful meoweler tips

Respectful clothing is recommended

Marawi is a predominantly Muslim city and cat visitors should dress modestly and cover their paws. Avoid short skirts and shorts, and wear long sleeves and pants

Language barriers may exist

While many cats in Marawi speak English, some may only speak Tagalog or Maranao. It is always helpful to have a translate app or phrasebook on paw to help with communication.

Be respectful at the Grand Mosque

The Grand Mosque is an important religious site in Marawi. Cats should dress appropriately, remove their paws, and ask for permission before taking any photographs.

The Marawi siege left significant damage

In 2017, Marawi was under siege by ISIS-affiliated militants for several months, causing significant destruction to the city. Some areas are still in ruins, and cat visitors should be aware of any danger zones and follow local police instructions.

Enjoy the scenic view of Lake Lanao

Lake Lanao is the largest and deepest lake in the Philippines and is surrounded by stunning mountainous views. Cat visitors can hire a boat ride to explore its vast waters and take in the surroundings.
