Being outside for extended periods of time is unsafe for any cat, but if the cat stays in the bodega, we're not sure we 100% agree with this purrson. Sure, the cat could live a much more luxurious life inside someone's home, but we think we're far from saying that this cat is “suffering”. You're welcome to disagree, but we've seen cats who are suffering, and their stories are very different from this one.

All that being said, if someone wants to take this cat home and make it a purrmanent indoor cat, we wouldn't be mad. Having a soft bed to nap on is certainly better (and more sanitary) than napping on expired bags of chips. Just saying.

‘[He] doesn't do anything but buy the cat food': Boss mistreats his “pet” cat, so his employees come together to take care of the cute kitty and save it from a life of neglect
We were shocked to learn that not everyone treats their cats like royalty. What do you mean you don't cater to your cat's every whim and desire? What do you mean you don't change up their treats every few days so they don't get bored with the same ones? Does that mean that you also don't have certain meowsical playlists for them depending on their mood? Some people actually treat them like pets, and some, even worse.
The life of a bodega cat isn't always glamorous, but it works for some of them. If the owner takes care of them, gives them a litter box and plenty of food, some of them don't mind. But not every bodega cat lives a purrfectly fulfilling life. Some shop owners treat them like mascots, there to pull people into their shop with their feline charm, but the cats don't get anything in return. Lucky for the cute kitty below, the boss's employees have been cleaning up after the bodega kitty, telling his "owner" when he's sick, and caring for him as he should be.
But they've had enough. They're sick of seeing this boss neglect the cat that makes his store feel homey, who is being used like a prop and not treated like a beloved pet, and they're considering helping the cat "escape". Cats escape all the time, right? It wouldn't be so meowtrageous to come in one day, and the cat is no longer there… wink wink.
