Subway Cats

The Lower East Side seems to be home to many subway tunnel cats. The latest one to make the news is the one residing at East Broadway on the F line.

I haven’t been by E. Bway myself to track down this cat but I’d assume he’s living in the large abandoned mezzanine within the station. Some commentors on Gothamist seem to think the cat is in danger from the ‘huge rats’ in the subway. Subway rats are really not that big and certainly no match for a hungry feral cat.

Our NYCX connect, the man from down under, Sean Vegezzi, Coaxed this photo out of the ever elusive Canal Street cat a few years back:

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.

   Yeah.. I saw this cat in Sean Vegezzi’s photo work a ways back. (great photo).

   All I can say about these so-called monster rats is that it makes for a good laugh!
