The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is home to two to three dozen “working cats” who control the rodent population, reducing the need for harmful rodenticides. Known as the “Coli cats,” these feral felines are beloved by the Coliseum staff members who feed them, especially security guard Rick Halpin, the resident “cat whisperer.” The cats hide in the stadium’s nooks and crannies during events but sometimes surface during USC Trojans Football games.
