NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Dozens of felines are the focus of a new book showcasing cats in shops all across the five boroughs.

"We have a cat named Ralphie who's at Complete Sculpture, it's a 25,000 square-foot art supply store," said author Tamar Arslanian.

It's showcased in the newly released book, "Shop Cats of New York," written by Arslanian.

"It's such a love story to the city I think, and what's amazing is it's all small businesses which is super special too," Arslanian said.

Arslanian, and photographer Andrew Marttila, crisscrossed the five boroughs, documenting cats inside businesses. The majority of the cats were adopted for the shop, where 24-7, they live, lounge and love all the attention.

Georgie is a customer favorite at Mooshoes on Orchard Street on the Lower East Side.
