Woman claims Delta flight attendant told her to stop her cat meowing or deboard the plane

Delta passenger Janelle Rupkalvis was allegedly told to keep her cat quiet on a 5 a.m. flight from Seattle to Salt Lake City on February 19, or she’d be forced to deboard the plane.

“I’m not kidding. We sit down and within like 30 seconds, a minute, maybe two minutes, a flight attendant comes up to us,” Rupkalvis recalled in a TikTok video posted the day after her disastrous trip. “She goes, ‘If your cat doesn’t stop meowing, we’re going to have to ask you to get off the plane.”
