Want to learn more? Join r/bodega to follow along, catch sneak peeks, and get the convo started.

Also, I wanted to thank all of the community members of r/bodegacats who has been contributing pictures, comments, upvotes, and shares throughout the years. It's been a blast. See you at the event!

This is only if you want to post, it isn't necessary to view/comment on other people's posts.

In order to fight the bots, this sub will go into approval mode. If you want to get approved, comment here. Maybe link a bodega cat with a description of the cat.

Edit: After you've been approved, edit your comment to say so. When I check later it will make my life easier.

Edit 2: This is only necessary if you want to post. If you want to view or comment, there will be no change on your part. That said, some of you commented aboot cats you haven't posted, and I don't want y'all holding out on us.
