We’ve heard of people with stinky feet taking off their shoes. There have been people who listen to music without headphones. We’ve heard of people with “emotional support falcons.” But I promise you, this is a new one for us all.
According to Newsweek, a woman on a recent flight between Syracuse, NY, and Atlanta, GA decided to give all of her fellow passengers a sight to see. She tried to breastfeed her cat and wrap it in blankets. You read it right. It’s worse, though: she turned down a request by pilots to take the cat and breast with her.

This incident is said to have occurred during a Delta Flight 1360 trip between Syracuse, New York and Atlanta. The flight was on its way to Atlanta when it was apparently sparked by cat nursing. But, the exact time of the incident is unknown.
An image circulated online depicts the alleged event as a screen shot of a message [sic]The Aircraft Communications Addressing Reporting System, (ACARS), is used by pilots to send short text messages to the ground.
A message informs that a passenger has taken his seat. [sic] 13A “is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in carrier” in response to a request from a flight attendant. The message asks that the situation be addressed by the airline’s “Red Coat” team upon landing. Delta describes members of the team as “elite airport customer service experts” who are “specially trained to handle on-the-stop customer issues.”

Newsweek also tracked down a flight attendant’s TikTok account, which spoke of the situation:
“This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby,” Ainsley Elizabeth said in a follow-up video posted on November 13. “Her shirt was up and she was trying to get the cat to latch and she wouldn’t put the cat back in the carrier. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
“What does she do at home if she’s doing that in public?” she asked. “And then security met the flight just to tell her that she couldn’t do that again, cause it was weird and gross.”
“Weird and gross” is an understatement.
What’s more, the lady only broke one rule of Delta in this little act. Delta says that there are no restrictions on breastfeeding pets, except for the fact that the woman must take the pet out of its carrier while she is flying. It’s just an assumption, but it is likely that there will soon be.
