Her original owner lived nearby, but had to move to Bushwick to a "no cats" apartment building. She gave Coco to the bodega as a guard cat. At first, Coco was overwhelmed by her responsibilities, but now she is settling in and very friendly towards the shoppers, occasionally meowing advice on what they should buy.<div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VOe011vkxv8/TE4uSnSqh-I/AAAAAAAAABk/P0hOcvq2cqY/s400/tn-3.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498383092385744866" /></div>Lydia Theinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00258551771317775366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160181608728674412.post-38585741683709877542010-07-22T18:25:00.000-07:002010-07-22T18:37:58.457-07:00Sleeping on the job...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VOe011vkxv8/TEjyYRcbGTI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZHMwnMVH92k/s1600/tn.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 113px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VOe011vkxv8/TEjyYRcbGTI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZHMwnMVH92k/s400/tn.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496909844019091762" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Meet Sophia, the cat in charge of the bodega at<span><span></span></span> 6th Ave. and King Street in Manhattan.
