It’s cat time, dear Pandas! Today, we’re not featuring your usual kind of cute-yet-imperious felines. No, today we’re once again delving deep into the world of cats photographed making themselves at home in small but cozy New York convenience stores and local corner shops.
Robb Hitt created the Bodega Cats project (or, rather, paw-ject) way back in 2012 and was astonished to see how quickly the idea took off. It’s been nearly a decade since and now Bodega Cats is a real force to reckon with on social media, with 674k fans on Twitter, 351k cat-lovers on Instagram, and a further 53k followers on Facebook. That’s over a million cat worshippers!
Cat pics always boost my mood, no matter how blue I’m feeling or how dreary the weather is outside (autumn rain, please have alternating shifts with sunny days, thank you). Hopefully, these photos of bodega cats doing their thing and looking like they own the place will bring smiles to your faces, Pandas. Go on, give your fave cattos a pet and an upvote. Meanwhile, you can praise them to heaven and back in the comments.

Already thinking how you’ll need more cats to get you to the weekend? No worries, we’ve got you covered! This is just the latest piece in Bored Panda’s fascination with the Bodega Cats project. You’ll find all of our earlier meowgnificent articles about our feline meowsters here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.

This must be the feline equivalent of someone rolling on a bed covered in cash like we see in the movies.
"Will be testing on your ability to drop small bits of succulent tasty meats for store cat to approve."
Store security, doesn’t stop thieves, but gives them a really judgmental stare.
I'm normally not the biggest fan of torties, but ermahgerd this one is gorgeous
Another secret door to Narnia. He's just having trouble opening it ;)
Aww, if I had a shop like this near me, I think I would be going in daily!
But I wouldn't buy the produce. Cats often carry toxoplasmosis. "Toxoplasmosis is considered to be a leading cause of death attributed to foodborne illness in the United States." - CDC
