A woman was allegedly seen breastfeeding her pet cat on a plane in front of horrified staff and co-passengers.

According to the New York Post, the unidentified woman was on a Delta Airlines flight from Syracuse, New York to Atlanta, Georgia when she began breastfeeding her cat.

An image circulating on social media reportedly showed a message that flight staff sent to the ground using the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System.

The message reported that “a passenger ‘is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in carrier’ when a flight attendant requested.”

The message further requested that the situation be addressed by the airline’s “Red Coat” team upon landing. Delta’s Red Coat team are their “elite airport customer service experts” who are “specially trained to handle on-the-stop customer issues”. — ndtv.com
