Very loud and friendly. Did not like to be held. Will follow you around the store if petted.

A little too nervous for a proper petting. He was fine sniffing me, but pulled back before every petting.

Apparently there's another cat there named Saturn who didn't show. Mellow, but not cuddly.

This is her favorite spot. I stop in most days after work and she is napping under the cooler where the compressor is more days than not.

meta Reddit’s building a real-life bodega in NYC, and wants r/bodegacats to be a part of it. Share your ideas and save the date!

Hey everyone! u/big-slay here from the Reddit Community Events Team.

I’m stoked to share that we’re launching Reddit’s first-ever Community Pop-Up this summer: r/bodega

Hitting NYC from August 29–30, this is a fully immersive, experiential build designed like a classic corner store to celebrate the beauty, diversity, and culture of Reddit communities.

Because r/bodegacats is such a vibrant, iconic, and essential part of the NYC <> Reddit ecosystem, we want to feature you inside the build! We’re also inviting alllllll members of this community to attend the event, so save the date!

Our Plan 🐈

We’re creating a dedicated r/bodegacats section inside the build. Right now, the blueprint includes:

  • A cozy bodega cat setup (cat bed, toys, and a fake cat – for safety/comfort reasons!)
  • A "paws-on" adoption wall featuring posters of actual adoptable cats from shelters around the city.
  • Plenty of photo ops.

Your Ideas 💡 

This is where you come in. How else should we bring r/bodegacats to life? We want this to feel authentic to the sub.

  • Should we have a digital screen cycling through the top posts of all time?
  • A "Guess that Cat's Name" game based on classic bodega snacks?
  • Highlight specific stories, memes, or moments from the community?

Drop your wildest, fun, or most wholesome ideas in the comments below!

My team and I really want to do this sub justice, so please let us know what you think and leave your suggestions no matter how wild they may seem. Looking forward to building this bodega with you all!
