There is nothing cute about @bodegacats.bsky.social . Most Bodega's are adding to the over population of cats. Tell me what happens to these cats when they are sick? Who pays the bills?

Marina Franklin @marinafranklin.bsky.social · Aug 29

If only Bodega's took care of the vet bills and didn't add to the overpopulation of cats ... then it would be cute, but it's not.
