BREAKING NEWS – Syracuse, New York – Things apparently got weird on a recent Delta Air Lines flight from Syracuse to Atlanta, when a woman allegedly started breastfeeding a cat, to the horror of fellow passengers and the crew.

A flight attendant sent a message through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) on the jet while in flight to alert the crew on the ground that the person sitting in seat “13A is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in its carrier when [flight attendant] requested.”

The ACARS message further requested that Delta’s “Red Coat” team – a special group dubbed “customer service experts” by the airline – greet the woman upon the flight’s arrival in Atlanta. The Red Coats later stated that this situation wasn’t as nearly as bad as a similar incident that happened a year ago, when a woman died shortly after nursing her pet rattlesnake.
