A woman reportedly took the term “breastfeeding” to a whole new level when she allegedly fed her hairless cat on a Delta Airlines flight from Syracuse, NY, to Atlanta, GA. The incident stirred up a frenzy on social media, especially during the hectic Thanksgiving travel week. An image of a message sent via the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) started circulating on Reddit, saying, “REQ REDCOAT MEET AC. Pax in 13A is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in its carrier when FA [Flight Attendant] requested.”
Details from the Flight Attendant
In a now-removed TikTok, a flight attendant, who we’ll call Sarah, shared more details about this bizarre situation. “This woman had a hairless cat all bundled up in a blanket like it was a baby,” she explained. Even though the incident took place on November 2, it only gained traction later when social media users caught wind of it. Sarah recounted, “Her shirt was up, and she was trying to get the cat to latch. The cat was practically screaming for its life!” She couldn’t help but wonder what this woman was doing at home to feel comfortable doing that in public. Eventually, security met the flight to inform the woman that her actions were inappropriate.
Creative “Natural Lubricant”
Things got even weirder when Sarah revealed the woman used a creative “natural lubricant” during the ordeal. “You know those little butter packets you get on flights? Yeah, she used that,” she said, gesturing dramatically. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, right?
The Incident Goes Viral
According to sources, the incident actually occurred on November 1, but it only went viral after Ryan Johnson, a disaster relief executive, shared the ACARS messages. The pilot requested Delta’s “Redcoats” to meet the woman upon landing, which indicates just how bizarre the situation was. After all, who wouldn’t need a stiff drink after dealing with that?
Important Note on Feeding Cats
And for the record, if you’re ever tempted to breastfeed a cat, please don’t. Cats have specific nutritional needs that human breast milk doesn’t meet. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to feed a kitten, consider using a specially formulated cat milk replacement instead.
