‘She started fake sneezing’: Entitled passenger claims to be “allergic” to airplane cat, but rule-following feline wasn’t the problem

After a long, cross-country journey filled with delays, one pawsitively patient kitty and her devoted pawrent finally boarded their second and final flight…only for things to get catty fast. Just as the plane doors closed, a fellow passenger marched to the front to complain about the feline on board. Cue dramatic gasps and exaggerated sneezing.

Despite the cat being tucked away in her carrier (as per airline policy), the woman demanded special attention due to her supposed cat allergy. The cat’s pawrent, sitting right up front, politely confirmed she had her cat and explained that the animal would remain secured and nowhere near the passenger. Still, the drama purred on. The woman continued to insist her needs “should take priority over a cat’s,” even though the HEPA-filtered cabin posed minimal risk.

Let’s be honest: this whisker-thin complaint wasn’t about danger. It was about drama. Cats may be divisive, but this little traveler was just minding her own paws and staying within the rules. In the end, the cat stayed, the flight took off, and the faux sneezing didn’t fool anyone. Sounds like the real allergy was to common courtesy.

Final verdict? That kitty earned her wings. The drama queen in row 20? Not so much.
