bodega

There are no cats quite like New York City bodega cats. 

A bodega cat (also referred to as a deli cat, store cat, or shop cat) is a cat that inhabits a bodega, which in New York City English refers to a convenience store or deli. 

The @BodegaCats twitter page provides a glimpse into their lives in general and during these special days, in particular. 

Unless they are busy sleeping, of course...Check out this cute twitter page posting photos of bodega cats from all around the world. We just love them!  

They're basically royalty! 

We can't stop watching!

If you've ever been to the Big Apple and stopped in a bodega for a breakfast sandwich or something, you've probably been in the presence of a bodega cat. Consider yourself lucky.
