Mindful meoweler tips

Shaka Surf Club and Guyam Island

🌊 Cat surfers will dig the swells and mellow vibes at Shaka Surf Club. Nearby Guyam Island offers a purrfect tropical escape with clear waters and a swaying palm tree shoreline.

Dapa Public Market

🐟 The lively Dapa Public Market is a whisker away from the port and is filled with stalls selling fresh fish, local produce, and even cat-sized T-shirts! Just watch out for the fish heads and bones.

Local Dialect

😻 'Tabi-tabi po' is a phrase to respectfully say 'excuse me' or 'may I pass' when walking through wooded areas. The Surigaonon dialect has plenty of feline-inspired expressions that curious cats can learn onsite!
