I love how NYC has done everything under the sun to deal with the rat problem and now they’re circled back and are like “Ok. We’ll legalize bodega cats. We need cats manning the food stores.” ancient problems require ancient solutions.
Best part about cats is how they can still serve their ancient purpose. So many dog breeds exist for reasons that no longer apply, but not cats. Assuming you have a good mouser that is.
Another problem with dogs is that a lot of them are not allowed to do what they were bred for and people get mad at them when they want to do it instead of being a well-behaved little sweetie. Jack Russell terriers and dachshund are both excellent hunting dogs and can make superb ratters but people buy them because they’re cute and then get angry when they’re feisty and bitey and bored without stimulation. Like, I’m sorry your terrier absolutely eviscerated a rat in your kitchen and got blood everywhere when you weren’t home but he isn’t a bad dog and that is quite literally the job he was made for.
They’re ubiquitous across the city but technically illegal though the law is not enforced, probably because there would be large scale rioting if these hardworking New York citizens were fired from their jobs. I think they were banned for health and safety purposes but the city has reluctantly admitted having cats in establishments that sell food is much less of a public health nightmare than having hordes of rats and mice in establishments that sell food. It looks like bodega cats are going to be officially legal now, not that that matters to the cats as cats love breaking laws.

I hate when another car forces you to park terribly but then they leave before you and it’s just like great. Well now my atrocious park job is deprived of context and I look like an asshole
