PASSENGERS were left feeling a little sick when they reportedly spotted a woman breastfeeding a cat onboard a flight.
According to a now-viral message which appears to be from the pilot, the woman refused to stop the questionable activity despite repeated pleas from the cabin crew.
Horrified passengers onboard Delta Air flight DL1360 to Atlanta reportedly watched on in horror as the woman took caring for her cat a step too far.
As the woman would not put her pet back in its carrier, the pilot demanded Delta's Redcoat ground team meet the customer after landing to reprimand her.
An Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System message, reportedly from the flight's crew, reads: "Req Redcoat meet AC Pax (passenger) in (seat) 13A is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in its carrier when FA (flight attendant) requested."
The American airline has experienced an 84 per cent surge in incidents relating to emotional support animals in the past few years, forcing them to tighten regulations.
But, unlike this case, it is usually the animal acting up rather than their owner.
Rules state that passengers are allowed to bring their small dogs and cats in the cabin, but must stay in a case under the seat in front for the entire flight.
