I wish things like this could happen to me. Much preferable to kids on flights.
I do not think this flight attendant has much experience with cats.

That’s crazy! I’ve flown with cat’s twice, each time, no one even knew I had them. One of them did manage to escape on the 15 minute drive to the vet though, lol.

Poor kitty. Although he did seem to be pretty OK with it all.
And I’m with you, @dressagetraks. Much better a loose kitty than a loose kid.
Cute kitty.
I always thought it interesting animals are able to ride in the cabin due to potential allergic reactions.

I was hoping this was the same video I saw a few weeks ago and can’t find again. Cat got loose on the plane and climbed up on a headrest. I don’t recall if passengers were formally asked not to touch it but the person in the row behind was doing all the stroking motions without actually making contact.
It’s possible this is a different moment of the same flight but everyone there was ooing and awwing.
ETA, found it but without the real audio.

I like the expression on the cats face. Like “what did I do? I’m innocent.”
I think the flight attendant probably did not want to get cat fur on her dark uniform. She’s holding that cat like I would hold a poopy shrieking baby.

I know people with severe allergies to cats that would probably need an emergency landing if a cat got near them on a flight.
The owner needs a scolding.

They are already traveling in a tiny tube full of cat and dog dander c/o their fellow travelers.

Not the same. People can be around people that own cats but they can’t be around cats

Honestly, we don’t really know what happened. My dog was in a fabric transport kennel at a dog show and scratched at it enough to make a hole in the door area while I was in the restroom. She never bothers crates, but that one was new and apparently, not to her liking.

The cat I recently adopted knows how to unzip zippers from within a carrier or a folding playpen. The day I brought him home, he deftly unzipped the doors and released himself from the carrier and then later, from the folding playpen. I will have to transport him in a rigid carrier, or wire the zippers shut on anything else.
