We All Love Bodega Cats, And These Are Some Of The Most Charming We’ve Seen
New York City bodega cats have a way of turning an ordinary corner store into a tiny local landmark. One sleepy tuxedo cat, tucked into a chip display and stretching out for attention, is the latest example of why people cannot get enough of them.
In this case, a shopper caught the moment on video and shared it online, where the clip quickly picked up attention for being equal parts adorable and oddly relaxing. The cat’s laid-back stretch, the snack aisle setting, and the unmistakable bodega vibe make it hard to look away.
Now the internet has another favorite store kitty, and this one looks perfectly at home among the chips. Read on.
Because these little establishments are located in a large metropolis and sell food, vermin might be an issue. But guess who enjoys eradicating icky, crawly pests while looking lovely in the process?
That's right, cats! These felines, known as bodega cats, assist shop owners in keeping the premises free of rats and pests while also providing customers with a delightful cat encounter.
So, while this sleepy tux appears to be taking a break, he's actually working hard to keep the store free of unpleasant vermin. Plus, he's getting paid extra for becoming friends with the customers!
Now, relax and enjoy the charm of this sleeping cat stretching amid the chips.
The bodegacats_ account has 173K followers and 4.3M likes on TikTok, which speaks volumes about the popularity of corner-shop cats. People love seeing them in person and sharing their experiences online.
And we can’t blame them, they are so charming.
This bodega cat isn't the only one caught on video. So, have a look at these hardworking store kitties.
