Mimi works the floor. She has a loop: past the snack rack, around the coolers, back to the front, a few times a day.
Mimi belongs to the woman who owns the bodega. The regulars know her by name too. The owner crouched down with food and Mimi came right over for the scratch, then let herself be picked up and carried around the store.
She still hunts. A toy dangled over the candy shelf gets her up on her back legs, both paws going.
