What's A Bodega Cat?
Cats have lived with man for thousands of years. Mankind’s lifestyle came with a ready food source for cats, and the cats were happy to oblige with cleanup duties. Fast forward to the 21st century and we find some things have not changed. In fact, sometimes the right person for a job is a cat!
“The bodega cat is the urban world’s most magnificent beast. Sometimes colloquially called the “deli cat,” these kitties eke out a working existence in the often-raggedy corner stores which pepper grand metropolitan areas.”(Catster.)
“Bodega Cats are a hardworking breed of kitty kinfolk who call the corner shops of New York City home. These illegal workers earn their place by keeping pesky vermin at bay, in exchange for food and shelter. Last month, an excellent four minute naturestyle documentary emerged that exposed the triumphs and tribulations of these majestic creatures, whose main predators include Health Department representatives who threaten to evict them.” (Working Cats.)

Genetic Pleiotropy and the Risks in Breeding Recessive Mutations
Nearly everyone loves what’s rare and unique. A slight defect in the minting process of a coin can create a demand and a value well beyond the face value of the coin. The coin is functionally no different than its perfectly minted counterpart, but its scarcity and uniqueness alone make it more desirable than the rest.
