That looks like the cats handwriting too
Considering it's also a little tattered I'm convinced there's no other narrative then the cat made it.
That’s where you’re wrong. The cat made someone do it and got mad so that’s why there’s some tears there. Cats don’t do things. They command their subjects to do it.
The greatest trick the Cat ever pulled is to convince mankind that it can be domesticated.
You know your Kipling.

It’s a conspiracy! However, I’m only an expert in Bird Law
The cat controls the block. The store owner pays the cat for protection. Missing doggies? Don’t even ask or mention it, nothing to see here.
*pawwriting
I think they spell dog 'dawg' in cat world.
I was thinking the same, but… Not inscribed with dog blood (???). Warrants suspicion they commissioned a royal slave to create this masterpiece.
Hey!
Found the cat!
Obviously, its that height so approaching dogs can read it
‘Insert DW can’t read gif’
I can't read!!!
Kitty is sneaking back in to put it up after mean owners keep taking it down.
Ruff.
🐶 Just like how your mother likes it, Trabek.

Why are the employees throwing up on a cat?
Seems kinda rude
After Last nights John Oliver show, I believe they would do it
....what?
did you really? Or did you just copy this comment from below and change a few words?
Bad bot, downvote and report
...suggesting?
Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.
Cats are ghetto and dogs learn pretty quick: yeah, maybe in a fight-to-the-death the dog knows it'd probably win, but it's gonna be scratched to hell and gone and maybe lose an eye in the process. And if you cross a cat then it's gonna go ghetto. Bet few dogs made it through that door.
I suspect the cat wrote the sign as well.
That’s gonna be a no from me, dog.
Hahaha!!! Cute!
he believes in apawtheid
The cat will personally beat you up if you bring dogs in
Ofc and now he's making sure dogs shall not pass the sign.

Will destroy all intruders while waiting for his next catnip delivery. Meow meow does not play games.
A great part of NYC is the bodegas and their cats
If it ain’t got a cat it ain’t a real bodega !
That is so true. I was born & raised in Manhattan. Going back to the '70s, I recall a cat just like that one lounging in the bodega on 100th St & Manhattan Ave. Thankfully, the store's still there & survived the sickening gentrification that turned the Upper West Side into YuppieTown. (Or HipsterTown, using today's vernacular.)
Is it even a bodega without a cat that sleeps on the bread?
Does anyone ever ask why the bread is squished a certain way or do they just say like, the name of the bodega cat?
Newish boyfriend brings you coffee and misshapen toast in bed asks conversationally: Jorge or Patches?
You: Nah, Miss Thang up on 43rd.
I'm sure those loaves just don't get purchased and are eaten by the profit of the owner. Atleast what I think. I'd probably still buy the bread lol I'm not very picky.
You mean the cats and their bodegas?
Oh my gods I’ve forgotten that about living in the city! Lol
I’ll never forget the man that stole one from the bodega :/
I did not know Bodega cats were a thing, but its my new favorite page
I assume because of mice and rats in the big city.
Better than an exterminator.
Funny thing is bodega cats are actually illegal. But the fine for a cat is cheaper than having to bring in an exterminator for rats.
And it's way better for the product and it actually works.
Poison and traps can only do so much, they're tricky bastards. Meanwhile cats have evolved over thousands of years specifically to hunt this kind of prey.
Let them do their thing.
Security cat on premises.
If that cat is like my tuxedo murder hobo, he is probably fierce enough to scare off a small bear.
I had a tuxedo that chased a feral cat colony out of our yard on her own. She was easily half the size of most of them…
She would go from adorable lap cat to mini-wolverine … terrible hunter though, just an unmatched brawler.
tuxedo murder hobo,
That's just a funny way to describe a cat perfectly
Ironically, my 5'1 Chinese (now-ex) girlfriend used to describe my cat as the perfect gentlemen, purring happily and sit on her legs while she wrote her code.
I strongly suspect my cat realize there was an alpha predator living in the house and adjust his behavior accordingly.
Oh no lmao this made me laugh more than it should've lol
Yes, my roomate got the cat because "He may be a little old but he have a great personality"
1) On the first night for freeing him from impending gas chamber, his claw my hands till it bled. Some personality.
2) Brutally beat my roomate's parent's six cats to the point they refuse to come down to the first floor for food when we visited. At least 3 had to be taken to the vet.
3) scare away a bear and chase said bear for a good 100 meters.
4) periodically sneak out the house for murder hoboing. Confirmed bird and squirrel and mice kills.
And yet, when my ex-girlfriend is here he acts like the sweetest cat.
Suck it, Dogs.
Love this 🤌🏽✨
Anti-Dog Sentiment
Woof!
They know what they're doing, that's the most gloating cat I've ever seen!
The cat is serious about the No DOGS thing
True. Look at that face. I’m intimidated and I’m not even a dog.
I like how they put the sign nice and low so that dogs can read it
They posted the sign low because cats are low to the ground and couldn't reach any higher, Silly.
Love this cuz I found a cat in a Dollar store that maybe just came in from the cold and they kept throwing it out(4-5 times) so I offered to take it away from the store. Had it now a year last month and I LOVE it, tho I hated cats just before this due to one causing me injury. I’m saving this pic Ada reminder of our chance(?) meeting and mine even looks like this except grey and white.
Now I'm curious (like a cat). Why did you volunteer to take a cat if you were afraid of them (in general)?
Not afraid of them. Short version; Last place I lived one caused my sciatica ( car wreck result)to flare up so bad that when I recovered I developed a limp and was on a cane for almost a year. That night in the store some girl screamed she was afraid and allergic to cats and while it was funny watching employees chase it down and throw it out only to have it come back in I felt sorry for it being so scared by then so as I left I told them I was going down the street to a laundromat and I’d let it out there. But there I felt bad about just letting it out alone and maybe hungry in such a cold night so didn’t do laundry and bought litter and food, took it home and posted in CraigsL for the owner. Weeks went by. Then months. We developed a liking for each other so I just kept it cause I was single and kinda lonely anyway. I also started thinking maybe there was a reason this all happened and wasn’t some fluke accident cause I’ve had things like that happen before so that strengthened the decision to keep it. Sorry so long a story to explain.
That's beautiful! I love stories of the Cat Distribution System in action. Thank you for sharing it.
Haha yes I’ve since heard about this distribution system.
No apologies needed, mate, it's a wholesome story in a way
A lot of the best connections we make aren't planned
Twins???
Tuxedos all look like clones. They're so beautiful and elegant, like they are always ready for a formal.
(not even small ones)
especially not small ones
Not the small ones...
That posture so menacing
This gotta be in NYC😁
Yes, this is a domestic bodega cat, native to NYC
Very serious about enforcement of the no dog policy 🤣
Fake Service Dog Screening Agent.
Any real service dog should be able to ignore saud agent.
Any dog that can't can be kicked out of the store.
The bodega cat nearest my apartment is fascinated with my dog. It will come to the door as if to intentionally be scared and then puff up and just stand there like a little thrill seeker. My dog is big but she knows better than to mess with a cat so they just stare at each other and nothing more.
Bruh that's messed up
Dirty store
For their own safety
That tuxedo is so clean, whoever tailored that is a master
The “Ed” on the end almost didn’t make it up
Me irl. But with cat.
Cats rule , Dogs drool.......
"count your days human" the cat says calmly then proceeds to act normal
He is guarding. Making sure no dog enters.
Ooo, you can tell he means it too
must be in NYC
Aaaand STAY meowt!
The "enforcer" means it!
Any dog seeing the eyes of this cat will understand even without a sign: NO DOGS ALLOWED /S
Katz theme intensifies
Don’t cross the bouncer !
Based on how things work in my house, that cat will beat the hell out of any puppy that crosses the threshold
I wish to see a cat this chonky at least once irl :"D
Must be the store cat --on the lookout for RATS of all kinds....
Tehehehe
He's offering you a quest.
That's the manager. Let's get that correct 😉
Cat asserting dominance in the best way possible.
Lol cats are legit assholes lol
Believe what you want, but that cat is for sure the one who wrote that sign
CHA(D)T
Segregation all over again
I feel sorry for the dogs who can't read
I feel vindicated...
But what if the dog is a grub hub courier???
Better not pull up with no sorry ass dog no sir
Pitbull name no dogs
he put up the sign
What a friendly shop owner! I would shop there for sure😻
You know the cat wrote that sign. 😎
What a great way to start our day!! Too funny 😄
The cat put the sign up
Best security guard any shop can wish for!
It looks like the cat I grew up with when I was a kid
"Read the fucking sign!'
He owns the store
That cat is standing on business
When people say lol they don't mean it most of the time. This one made me lol. I have 4 cats and had more cats in the past. Cats are smarter than most people think they are.
Grubhub? In Poland it's called delicious.com
Me hiding in the STARS office in RE2R
What a fancy 'lil fella
Does that look like a cat that is not allowed to you? No, didn't think so, so let it be
Katz Motel vibes
Guard cat!
"Don't fuck with the door man. Give him the password and move on"
I love it!
Fyi....never get a kitten from a farm........experience...her favourite pastime was attacking the German shepherd a few doors down and the postman when she took a dislike to you you knew it yet was the most loving cat to kids no matter how rough they were to her

He was a man and he delivered mail ..what is the problem
Agreed. We have a mail lady. People (and bots) are way too sensitive and PC. Postman is not offensive if it's actually a dude delivering your mail. ;-)
I can smell this store
this is me when any of my relative uninvitedly shows up
Looks like the cats handwriting
He's the guardian of this place, if a dog try to get in, he's already beheaded by the cat! good soldier! hahaha
She put the sign
hey, its r/nihilism
This pic goes hard, especially with the no dogs allowed
Such a kitty dilemma. Sit in the doorway half-in and half-out, or sit on the flattened cardboard box.
"I own this."
Khajiit has wares if you have coin. Welcome my friend. 🐱
Meow (continue)
Actual gatekeeper
Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.
You can’t even have a “no dogs” rule around here anymore. I hate it. Everybody has their animal “registered”. It’s a support animal of some kind and it’s all protected for them to take the stupid ugly things anywhere.
He knows what he’s doing.
That’s my cat.
Oops just got scolded for not using politically correct chromosomes or the lack of
Cute cat
Kitty says I win again hahaha in deep voice
Wery funny cat but I feel sorry for him because he is alone. But he's probably just taking a walk and decided to go to the store for food UwU
If a had to own a shop, I'd like to own this cat's one
she definitely wrote that sign. look at her.
Lol the cat is like “yeah that’s right, only cats rule this territory”
I like to imagine that the cat wrote the “no dogs allowed” sign.
They're not kitten around.
Too bad their are still idiots with their so-called "service dogs" that will try to bring a dog in.
Just placed Grubhub order for one cute black and white kitty…
Cat: "Are you a dog? If you are, you have to tell me."
I like that they posted the sign low so dogs can read it
This is a good height for a dog to read.
Me irl. But with cat.
Morgana
Shouldn't be bringing your pets into any store whatsoever unless it's a vet clinic or some other pet specific business like a pet groomer or daycare.
Well guess I'll be avoiding this store, I'm allergic to kitties. You can have my down vote irl.
That’s the manager
Wut the cat doing
Well, this tuxedo beauty is not a dog, so completely allowed in there.
Why did you take a picture of the manager of that bodega.
I love that both posters are at Kitty height suggesting they put them up
