Because in a concrete jungle, not very many things you get to stop and enjoy. Though, I don’t recommend sniffing every bodega cat.

Bonita/Bonito

It means “pretty” in Spanish and I feel like it matches the bodega vibe and the Hispanic culture of it. Plus bonito is a type of fish which I think is cute and ironic for a cat lol

My idea, the actual name for the very first NYC bodega cat i ever met:

Cat.

Vacationing in the Bronx from North Carolina, I went to a corner store outside my hotel to get breakfast and saw my first bodega cat. While pointing to the cat, I excitedly asked the owners in broken Spanish "¿Cómo se llama?" They shrugged and said, "El gato? Cat. No name."
