These Cats Work at New York’s Bodegas

Some cats in New York City work behind the counter. 

An estimated 30–40% of NYC bodegas have cats helping with pest control and keeping watch in neighborhood shops. Writer and cultural archivist Dan Rimada, founder of Bodega Cats of New York, has spent years documenting these working cats and the people who depend on them - work that eventually helped bring bodega cats to City Council. 

His book ‘Bodega Cats of New York’ is coming out later this year.

Why is my work room always a mess with random cat beds and fabrics scattered around? The answer is simple - I am studying my 7 cats to see what they gravitate towards, and interact with, different textures & plushness (thick vs thin)! Their behaviors help me figure out how to make our products more cat approved and much less rejected than the store bought ones. We want our kitty customers purring up a storm when you gift them their newest love, not walking away in disgust!

It’s total mayhem at Oddball HQ! We’ve been hit with so many orders, that the cats are having to take naps in between the sewing projects! 😸 Seriously, thanks to all of our wonderful customers, we really appreciate you! ❤️ And, we are many steps closer to finding our newest HQ! We just got our mortgage approval and are searching hard for the purrfect gem! It has to be out there somewhere! 😻😸

The idea *was* to cut this fun beach pawty fabric for new crinkly mats… but the Tornadoes had other plans for it…! 😹 Seriously what does a cat slave need to do in order to get some work done around here? 😹😹😹

Oliver has been very involved in the business recently. Most of what I bring home to work on, he must inspect. We have been inventorying lots of new crystals for our next 3 Holiday Double Live Sales. Oliver’s paws have literally been in all the boxes check out the “batability” of the crystals. He particularly liked these Tumbleds that move around in the shells 🐚 🤣 Or maybe because these are Purpurite, closest mineral name associated with cats 🐈
We wish you a relaxed Sunday. ❤️

Have a great day. ⁣
