Woman reportedly caught breastfeeding cat on Delta Airlines flight

(WTVO) — A woman on a Delta Airlines flight reportedly began to breastfeed her cat during the flight and refused to stop when confronted by the crew.

According to Newsweek, the incident happened on a flight between Syracuse, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.

A now-viral message posted on social media shows a screenshot of a Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) message from the pilot to the ground, which says “Req. Redcoat meet AC Pax (passenger) in (seat) 13A is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in its carrier when FA (flight attendant) requested.”

Red Coats are “elite airport customer service experts,” according to Delta, who were requested to meet the woman once the plane landed.

Flight attendant Ainsley Elizabeth, who allegedly was on the flight, added on TikTok on November 13th: “This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby. 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.”

Seems to be a good way to lose a nipple. Human babies have gums. Cats have fangs.

Putting a cold kitty under one's shirt is a common way to prevent hypothermia. I thought a friend of mine was going to laugh herself to death.... we'd gone into a public restroom and I decided it was time to give my neonate bottle baby its lunch. I'd made a cozy nest for it in my bra with paper to catch any accident. Oops! I hadn't mentioned to my friend that I was packing kitten, so when I reached under my sweatshirt and pulled a baby kitten out....well!

If that's the case this got blown up way out of proportion. If not, then I'm shaking my head.

... whenever I was sitting shirtless, she tried out my nipples. Not much luck though, since I am a man.
