I read Shop Cats of New York a few years ago, and it was great

Was so excited when I saw this link. Was hoping it would be more like the Trees of New York [0], but appears to be a book.
The bodega in my last neighborhood (Fort Greene) featured an orange cat, Ice Spice. Spice birthed Olivia who now has loads of kittens. They wander in and own like they own the place, even whining at customers to open the doors for them. Here's a picture I took of Olivia on top of the tobacco products

When i first realized that their primary purpose was to get rid of rats, I had quite the chuckle.
Can’t wait for the sequel:
Bodega Rats of New York
I strongly recommend the 2016 documentary titled 'Kedi', which is about the cats of Istanbul. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKq7UqplcL8
You can’t have a great product without proper security.
It seems it might've been taken down but there used to be an app called ShopCats that was a crowd-sourced version of this concept
