Mindful meoweler tips

Wear comfortable paws for walking!

Moscow is a pawsome place to explore by foot. Make sure your paws are ready for a long stroll in Red Square or Gorky Park!

Don't forget to drink the cat milk!

In Moscow, cat milk is a popular drink known as 'kvas'. It's made from fermented bread and has a tangy sweet taste. Make sure to try it!

Be friendly, cats!

Russian cats can be shy, but don't be afraid to make friends. Smile and say 'zdravstvuyte' (hello) to make some new furry pals.
