“Upset in the Skies: Flight Attendant Gives Cat Owner an Ultimatum That Turns Heads!”
Bored Panda got in touch with Rupkalvis, and she was kind enough to tell us more about what happened and how the company handled the situation with grace. She also shared some practical advice about traveling with a pet and told us all about her cat, Gus! You’ll find our full interview with her below.
“No airline is perfect. Delta’s response to this situation was thoughtful and reassuring. Mistakes happen, but it’s how companies handle them that makes all the difference, and Delta’s follow-up was a great example of that,” she said.

Flight attendant said the craziest thing to us yesterday. We’re flying from Seattle to Jacksonville with a layover in Salt Lake City, and our first flight was at like, 5 a.m. We get on the plane, we’re in first class. We board with zone one because we want to get him settled.
We got to get our stuff put away, all that stuff, and I’m not kidding you, we sit down, and within like 30 seconds, a minute, maybe two minutes, flight attendant comes up to us, and I think that they’re going to remind us that, “Oh, you have a cat, they have to stay in the carrier the whole time.” Like, that’s a pretty common reminder that we get when we’re traveling with pets. But no, instead, she goes, “If your cat doesn’t stop meowing, we’re gonna have to ask you to get off the plane.”
