Americans are known for going to great lengths to care for and love their pets, but one Delta Air Lines passenger may have taken it too far on a recent flight from Syracruse to Atlanta.
Pet owners may consider their cats a close member of the family, but that thought process should not include breastfeeding your feline friend.
That appears to have happened on the Delta Air flight to Atlanta.
A passenger started breastfeeding her cat and didn't stop even after repeated requests from flight attendants onboard the A320 operated flight, according to a pilot messaging system.
The ACARS message was sent to Delta's operations control center and said that Pax would not put the cat back in the carrier when the flight attendant requested.
The pilots request a Redcoat ground team to meet the flight in order to reprimanded the customer.
Delta is yet to confirm whether or not this incident actually took place, although they have been contacted for comment.
Delta has changed its attitude to allow pets to travel in the passenger cabin over the last couple of years due to bad behavior on the part of the pet rather than the owner.
Delta does allow passengers to travel with their pets in the cabin, despite the fact that they can pee, defecating and sometimes even attack other passengers and flight attendants.
Pets that are approved must remain in a kennel under the seat in front for the duration of the flight. Delta can now charge for pets to travel in the passenger cabin after the Department of Transportation changed the rules on emotional support animals.
