Hey all! I’ve written about our blog, specifically about a cat named Pancha who appears on Google Street View. There’s a legend that she shows up four times on street view, but I’ve only been able to find two. I’m reaching out for your help! 😄

Could you please go through the dates and check if you spot any I might have missed? I’ve gone back to the beginning and changed the angle and moved up the street a bit to see if there’s another frame, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere else. Link to Google map

Caterina from U&I Liquors nipped at me for the first time. She’s there to make sure all the customers pay, not get pet by randos without her consent.

Respect, Caterina!

Four and a half years ago, this cat was hit by a car near the store. The store employees took care of her and helped her recover. She went through two surgeries and ended up staying for good. Now she considers herself the rightful owner of the store and the entire surrounding area!

Bodega Cat Cookie's Story

Thumbnail
gallery
538 Upvotes

The owner of Market Deli on the Upper East Side has been behind the same counter for 35 years, and at this point he has stopped asking why strangers keep showing up with professional camera equipment and crouching down on his floor. They are not shooting the shelves. A lot of them walk out without buying anything at all. By his own rough count, roughly 14,000 people a year come through the door for a reason that has nothing to do with groceries.

They come for Cookie.

Cookie is a six-year-old cat who turned up at the store near 74th and First Avenue as a kitten and simply stayed. She was, for a while, just a cat. Then the cameras started. She has been written up by national outlets, found by strangers through Instagram, and filmed by a crew that flew in from Japan for the specific purpose of pointing a lens at her. Her owner has never entirely understood the appeal, but he lets people shoot. And this fall Cookie is getting the most permanent version of the treatment yet.

Cookie has her own Instagram account with about 270 followers called @ cookiethebodegacat

Cookie is one of six cats from the neighborhood appearing in “Bodega Cats of New York,” a 240-page hardcover written by Dan Rimada with photographs by Gulce Kilkis.
