Hey, quick fun stop! We're diving into the world of cats who aren't just hanging around - they basically run the corner store scene. These cats don't just chill; they're judgemental shoppers, worker comforters, and tiny pest control ninjas all rolled into one. Let’s check out why these bodega cats are the unofficial kings and queens of convenience stores.

Rob Hitt kicked off Bodega Cats because who doesn't love a cat casually chilling in a tiny store? It all started with a late-night snap and quickly became a fun project to spread smiles. Now, hundreds of people send in their best cat-in-a-bodega pics every week, making the internet a cuter place.
Guess what? These store cats are actually a bit rebellious - they’re technically against health rules. But hey, their job keeping the food rodent-free is pretty important (and way better than some alternatives).
Even if it's a bit risky, many store owners keep the cats because nothing scares away mice like a sneaky cat on patrol. They might nap in the morning, but come afternoon, they're all business.
Scientists note cats can even keep mice away just by scent, but there's still some debate on whether letting cats roam near food is okay. Still, these cats have loyal fans who say they prevent bigger problems than a little fur.
Rob says people love Bodega Cats because it feels like spotting a friendly face in the busy city. Plus, they use sales from their cool merch to help cats in need - talk about a squad that cares!
