“Upset in the Skies: Flight Attendant Gives Cat Owner an Ultimatum That Turns Heads!”
“We’ve traveled with Gus many times before, so when they said we could potentially be kicked off the flight if we couldn’t get him to quiet down, it really took us by surprise.”
According to Rupkalvis, Delta Air Lines “handled the situation well” after what happened. “As I mentioned in my video, both my partner and I were compensated with 15,000 miles each. I also submitted a formal complaint, hoping to prompt a review of the policy and possibly some retraining,” she said.
“A few days later, Delta reached out to let me know that the policy had been miscommunicated to me and that additional training would be implemented to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future. I really appreciated their follow-through on this.”
With so many of us being pet parents and animal lovers, Bored Panda wanted to hear the advice that Rupkalvis would give other owners who have never traveled with their cats by plane.
“One thing I’ve learned from traveling with Gus is that when he starts meowing, it’s not usually because he’s hungry or thirsty—it’s often because he’s too warm. During the boarding process, the air conditioning isn’t always running, and that can be uncomfortable for pets. We now bring a small portable fan with us to keep him cool, which has made a huge difference,” she shared with us.
“I also recommend bringing familiar items like a blanket or a toy to help your pet feel more at ease in an unfamiliar environment.”
The influencer told us that her cat, Gus, is now nearly 5 years old and is part Siamese, a “naturally vocal and social breed.”
