The Alleycats are a fictional New York City gang in 1979.
History[]
Formation and Background[]
Little is known about the Alleycats' formation, except that they were founded sometime before July 12, 1979. They were on the Gramercy Riffs' network.
The Meeting[]
See also: The Warriors (Film), Desperate Dudes
When Cyrus and the Gramercy Riffs called a conclave of New York City's gang, nine delegates of the Alleycats were sent to the meeting on behalf of the gang. At the meeting in Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, it is unknown what became of the gang's delegates when Cyrus was shot and the meeting was interrupted by the cops. It is likely they were all arrested.
In the Film[]
The Alley Cats can be spotted in several shots during Cyrus' speech. They can be identified by their plain orange T-Shirts. Fox is standing between two of the members after Luther shoots Cyrus, before both running in opposite directions, leaving Fox standing alone.
It is here where half of the gang patch can be seen on the back of the Alley Cat that runs to the right of the screen.
In the Game[]
It's possible they were in that large cutscene at the big meeting.

- Bad luck appears to be their recurring theme, as the cat in their logo is black, and the number on his tail is '13'.
