SHOCK struck the internet when a woman was reportedly seen breastfeeding a cat on a Delta Airlines flight in December.
Video footage wasn't taken of the incident but a flight attendant took to TikTok to explain what happened…
Why is 'woman breastfeeding cat on plane' trending on TikTok?
Earlier this month, news came of a woman flying from Syracuse to Atlanta who started feeding a hairless cat hidden under a blanket.
The incident went viral after the airline's communication system posted: “Passenger in 13A is breastfeeding a cat and will not out cat back in carrier when requested.”
A flight attendant elaborated: “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.”
TikTok user @AlessiaVaesenn now has over 35 million views on a series of videos that parody the viral Delta Airlines incident, originally created by a Facebook user who goes by the name Mr Gooch.
In the skit, he recreates the moment a woman was caught breastfeeding her cat on a flight as a passenger screams: “IT IS A CAT… I TOLD YOU”.
The woman snaps back: “It’s a lynx, not a cat. There’s a big difference.”

A third person commented: “The eyes… this cannot be true.”
Others explained: “To clarify, yes, it is a skit. No, this video is not real. But YES, there was a lady breastfeeding her CAT on a Delta flight. Just Google it,” one person wrote.
Another said: “It’s a reenactment of an event that happened recently. A woman. was caught breastfeeding a cat on a plane.”
While the original creator says that his videos are “intended for entertainment purposes only” and are “scripted dramas, satires, parodies, magic tricks, pre-recorded videos”.
What are plane rules on animals?
Some airlines say that pets are welcome on flights but owners must follow strict rules.
The USDA requires that your pet must be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling.
Only pets in good health are permitted to fly, while all pets crossing state borders are required to have a rabies immunization and valid health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days of travel.
When booking a flight on which you wish to bring your pet, call the airline directly to make the reservation and confirm that there is a space available for your pet on the flight.
Depending on animal breed and size, some pets can travel as a carry-on or be transported through cargo.
Carry-on pets are limited to cats and dogs that meet the size, age, and destination requirements of the specific airline in question.
Fully-trained service dogs may fly in the cabin at no charge if they meet the requirements.
