Mindful meoweler tips

Houston's diverse food scene will have cats purring with delight!

From Tex-Mex to Vietnamese to Southern comfort food, Houston's culinary offerings are not to be missed. Try some classic BBQ at Goode Co. or indulge in a heavenly kolache at Shipley Do-Nuts.

Don't forget to visit Houston's famous Space Center!

Learn about NASA's history and ongoing projects, and even touch a real moon rock. For an extra thrill, take a tram tour of the Johnson Space Center grounds.

Houston is home to the largest rodeo in the world, and cats won't want to miss it!

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo features concerts, carnival rides, livestock shows, and of course, the rodeo competitions themselves. Yeehaw!

Houston's Museum District boasts over 19 museums and cultural institutions, a must-visit for cultured cats!

Highlights include the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Contemporary Arts Museum. Pro tip: admission is free on Thursdays!

Houston's traffic can be a hairball, so plan your commute carefully, cats!

Leave extra time for travel during rush hour and consider taking the METRORail or a bike instead. Also, be aware that Houston is prone to flooding during heavy rain, so take caution on the roads.
