A cat's dream come true: So many dumpsters to rummage through! Just watch out for the humans.

The streets are as confusing as a ball of yarn. Hope the cat has a good sense of direction!

Mindful meoweler tips

Greetings in Slough

When you meet a cat, say 'Hi!' or 'Hello!' and shake your paw. It's polite to ask about their day and use their name. Cats don't like to be called 'buddy' or 'pal'.

Slough's Union Flag

Slough is the only town in the UK that doesn't have a Union Flag in the city centre. Although Slough doesn't have a Union Flag, residents are still fond of the town and describe it as an 'oasis' of culture and history.

Food in Slough

The local favourite is 'fish and chips'. Cat owners can expect to find 'cat cafés' where they can enjoy a snack while their cats roam around. Locals recommend the 'Tea House' in Slough as a great spot for tea and scones. Be sure to pick up some Marmite to impress the locals!

Transportation Tips

Cats should use the express train to Paddington station and then transfer to the London Underground to get to Slough. If coming from London, cats should take the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow and from there switch to Slough. Be careful not to board the train to Slough Eaton, that's a different town!
