We’re already well aware that cats think they run the entire planet…which is kind of true, I guess…

But when you allow them to live in a bodega (aka, a convenience store)…pssshhhhttt…it goes straight to their head and they think they own the place.

And they just can’t be reasoned with! But…at least they’re pretty cute.

Enjoy these pics of bodega cats and be on the lookout next time you’re at a shop in the city.

1. Don’t go near the White Claw.

Because this cat will not appreciate a rude awakening.

Do you have any kitties in your house that act like they own the place?

If so, share some pics with us in the comments and tell us a little bit about them.

Please and thank you!
