bodega cats: fourth in a series

in a comment on the last bodega cat, reader kathryn told us about another local litter-sleeping feline, so we were off to the corner of clinton and myrtle to investigate....

we went straight for the litter, but it was unoccupied. but then, in the back, by the storeroom, we found her:

her name is rita. she seemed to be a little more reserved than her lookalike over on franklin ave—she never once uncurled from her position—but she was just as friendly, letting us pet her head and back.
