Lawsuit blockbusters! Cat scratch fever at McSorley's


The Post has this catty exclusive today....

A New Jersey woman has kicked up a feline fury at the 156-year-old McSorley's Old Ale House, by filing a lawsuit claiming she was viciously attacked by the venerable bar's pet cat and had to be hospitalized.

Cheryl Sibley, 53, of Hasbrouck Heights, says she suffered the mini-mauling in October 2009, according to papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week.

The suit doesn't say exactly how the terrible tabby made a meal of Sibley.

But the woman claims the "live animal" attack left her with "serious injuries" that required medical care, the court papers state.

    Maybe the cat had just watched an episode of Jersey Shore and lost it.

    Hey Lady, (Jerry Lewis moment!) if you're trying to give New Jersey a bad name, Snookie and her pal's are doing a fine job of it and they don't need your help.
