Shop cats are taking over New York (19 photos)

Homeless cats often run into shops, shops and establishments, and it’s as if they immediately become their full-fledged “owners”. In New York, there is an entire culture dedicated to these store-dwelling cats. They even have their own brand. Let's take a look at the cutest fluffies from local stores.





Cats who live in stores are increasingly gaining popularity and touching the hearts of people all over the planet. New York-based brand Bodega Cats of New York even creates items and clothing featuring local store cats, including cat prints, sweatshirts, and other items. According to the brand's creators, they don't just glorify cats - they perpetuate them as part of New York street life and "the quintessence of the cityscape." The team organizes exhibitions, participates in events, and simply loves cats.



Local cats can go anywhere - into a small grocery store, a convenience store, climb onto an ATM, or hide among the fruit - but they immediately become celebrities. Shop owners happily accept them.
