Mindful meoweler tips

Irvine is a master-planned city

Irvine's layout is meticulously planned to give cats plenty of space to run and pounce around. Don't be afraid to explore the green spaces!

Irvine is home to UC Irvine, a leading research university

If you're a scholarly cat, be sure to check out UC Irvine's campus. It's known for both its academics and its whimsical architecture, which is shaped like a cat's paw.

Irvine has an impressive culinary scene

From sushi to pizza to bubble tea, Irvine's restaurants have something for every cat's appetite. Be sure to check out the food trucks that gather at Irvine's Great Park on Sundays.
