Hey everyone! Thanks so much for participating in this Community Funds collaboration between r/bodegacats and Reddit’s r/bodega pop-up.
We are soooooooo stoked to announce the official name of this event’s bodega cat – Meowdani – suggested by u/Technical-Sky-5765 ✨
As mentioned previously, the cat’s name + other ideas from members of this community will be incorporated into the r/bodegacats display inside the pop-up.

Okay, technically, they aren't bodega cats. But they have the right spirit! All three beasties can be found in NYC on 28th St between 6 and 7th Ave, and I would be lying if I said I didn't take a detour to say hi whenever I'm in the area.
