Everyone knows that a cat has nine lives. But this famous proverb has a second part: “…For three he plays, for three he strays, and for the last three he stays." It’s a fitting story arc for this week’s podcast with Dan Rimada and Gulce Kilkis of Bodega Cats of New York, whose local passion project has grown into something that stays: an archive, a photo book, and a push for legislation.
