This Twitter Account Collects Photos Of Cats In Small Shops Looking Like They Own The Place (50 New Pics)
Every now and then, you gotta pass by a bodega to get bread, toilet paper, or a late-night bag of candy. Since most people hop in and out without caring too much, they are at risk of missing out on that one little purrfect reason that makes any bodega journey worthwhile. Yes, even when you are blurry-eyed on the early morning run for milk to brighten up your coffee (And yourself!).
That reason is a bodega cat, better known as the furry master of the shop, who meets and greets unsuspecting shoppers from far up the cookie aisle or an unidentified box in the corner. Sometimes, they hide in plain sight right next to the doors, but almost every time, they manage to blend in with the surroundings.
The Bodega Cats social media project is dedicated to this unique corner store feline breed (okay, it’s not quite a breed but we like to think of it that way) and it collects all the furry sightings spotted in bodegas around NYC, but also other places in the US and the rest of the world. With a whopping 1M followers on Twitter and 421k people following the project on Instagram, it has gained an almost cult following and how could it not!
Scroll down for the newest batch of bodega cats and be sure to check Bored Panda’s previous features here, here and here.

Looks like a cat I had as a child. Her name was Fishbone. I also rescued a void from a gas station as a teenager. Her name was Aqualung. 1971. Need I say more?

The cat will be checking your ID from now on. You may think she’s asleep, but don’t let her fool you. She doesn’t miss a thing.

I can't believe they expect to catch mice too! I'm already flat out watching for shop theft.

No, no, no. We're Bored Pandas around here, not Lazy Pandas. So many unworthy pics would be upvoted as a result, chaos would ensue!
