First
The black cat that helped
put the jinx on the Giants during “Monday Night Football” wasn’t just a random trespasser — it was part of a colony of as many as 300 feral felines that call MetLife Stadium home,
The Post has learned.
<snip>
The cat colony is descended from so-called “barn cats” that were brought in decades ago to tackle rats the racetrack,
The Bergen Record reported.
-------------------------
The New York Post: "Yo! This is Mike from The Post! How is it that a cat got into MetLife Monday night?
The Bergen Record: "'A' cat? It's lucky it was only one cat. There have been hundreds roaming the nearby racetrack for years. You mean The Post, who covers TWO New York teams, didn't have a clue about these cats?"
Second
“I looked and said, ‘That looks like one of the cats I feed!’ ” said an employee, who declined to give his real name, but who said he is known as the “Cat Man” around the sports complex in East Rutherford, NJ.
“There are over 300 feral cats in the complex right now. I go to seven or eight colonies at the [Meadowlands] racetrack, and there are people feeding them at MetLife,” he explained.

Officials at MetLife denied last Monday that the facility is overrun by cats.
“We most definitely do not have 300 feral cats living in the stadium. We are an outdoor facility and at times have seen 1 or 2 cats roaming around (most famously last night),” said MetLife Stadium spokeswoman Helen Strus.
She also
denied her group is feeding the cats. The facility is operated by a separate entity, the New Jersey Sports and Exhibition Authority.
