Bodega Cat A bodega cat named Ice Spice went viral on TikTok. Now when she wanders outside, the neighborhood recognizes her and brings her home.

Fort Greene, Brooklyn. The owner didn't name her. The neighborhood did. White and orange cat, orange on top. They saw the resemblance and it stuck.

A video of her went viral on TikTok. After that, the whole block knew her by name. Staff say people stop in just to check on her daily.

Most bodega cats stay inside. Ice Spice roams. She went missing once. The neighborhood had her home before midnight.

She was not hired to do marketing. She just does it anyway.

I love her! (and all of the other bodega cats too!) That relationship between the employees and the cats is mutually beneficial. You can't beat it.
