A black cat ran onto the field during Monday Night Football and stole the show

The cat, obviously still clinging to the Halloween spirit, stole the spotlight as it meandered around the end zone, paws-ing for suspense before darting across the line and scoring a touchdown to raucous cheers from the crowd. The cat showcased its skills, boasting speed and agility to burn, and we think the Giants should look into getting this kitty a contract.

The Giants might not actually be too fond of the cat, however, as its brief stay on the field seemed to curse the team for the rest of the game. After commanding a six-point lead, the Cowboys scored 10 points on the Giants after the cat incident, taking back the lead and ultimately winning the game 37 to 18.

Football cat played an excellent game and should earn a hefty sum of treats and string in free agency. The cat is, apparently, also inspiring a few other kitties to take their shot at the NFL.

The cat is an up-and-coming star, no doubt. Now the question is: Will Football Cat garner the same love and admiration once the football-watching populace realizes the kitty is a Cowboy?
