'He's just baby': Kitten accidentally goes 'number 2' on a flight, his owner rushes to fix things, ends up getting unjustly kicked off the plane by a hostile flight attendant

We were all kids back in the day, and although we may not remember each and every one, we are sure that we made a whole lot of childlike mistakes. That's okay. Kids learn. And cats too. They, too, start their lives as mere itty bitty kittens, and they have a lot to learn. Kittens have to learn how to communicate effectively. How else will they make sure that we do everything that they want us to do all the time? Kittens have to learn how to drink water. It's more complicated than you think. If you're not careful, the water will go up your nose. 

And still, even after learning all of these things, mistakes can and will happen, just like with every baby. Which is what happened in this story. An accident. A little number 2 on a flight. But instead of sympathy for the poor panicked owner and cat, what they got was a hostile, awful flight crew who threw them the heck out of the flight.

  • We have to say that this is one of the most insane stories that we have ever seen, and we have seen a whole lot of them. You would think that maybe they were right to move this woman out of the flight, but nope. They were not. The overreaction here was insane.

    alex @barelyyalex Omg lol this had 200 likes before I got on my flight (one more to go before I'm home) but here is a little timeline of events: ... Oni (7 months old) gets scared during a rough landing and has an accident in his carrier which is fully contained.

    I have a connecting flight I need to rush to and not a lot of time (I do not know where or what plane I just know I have to deboard). I take Oni to the airplane bathroom quickly to wipe up what I think is just pee

    I quickly realize it is poop and pee and after wrapping the dirty paper towels in another clean one, I dispose of them in the trash because I am worried about if they can be flushed and expect they take out the trash between flights.

    I realize I need to change tactics and ask flight attendants for a garbage bag and explain what happened. They are very sweet and understanding and I finish cleaning up and put the rest of the trash in the garbage bag for them to easily get rid of.

    As I'm leaving I hear one flight attendant say they are out of air freshener to another. I rush out and quickly realize I will be reboarding the same plane. Oni and his carrier are fully cleaned and there is no trace of the incident. No odor at all.

    I reboard and see the crew has changed but clearly they informed the new crew what happened and they have had to close that bathroom due to the smell of the trash. I go and sit in the back. Flight attendant approaches me in a hostile manner saying they are agitated because they had to close that bathroom for the flight and questions me.

    I am very stressed and overwhelmed and apologetic because I genuinely thought they would change the trash but they did not and have no spray to assist with the smell. She is hostile towards me and I explain he got scared and had an accident but I am planning to take hourly trips to the bathroom so he can check just in case.

    She says "the bathroom is not your litter box!!!" I say "I know, I have a portable litter box and have flushable litter. He's just a baby and had an accident." She is very angry and accusatory and rude and makes me cry.

    I sit down, crying, overwhelmed, embarrassed, and stressed. A few minutes later a Southwest agent sits next to me and explains that the crew want me off the flight. He escorts me off and we go to the gate and he gets me sorted for another flight. It is over several hours from then, to another airport. Then another layover of over an hour and then finally to LAX. My original arrival time at LAX was 5 pm and now it is after midnight.

    He explains he tried to convince the crew to let me stay and thinks they overreacted and was very nice and apologetic and gave me a $200 voucher for a future flight. And told me repeatedly I did nothing wrong. I only packed for a few hours so I've had to be careful with supplies for Oni but he's doing great and we have one flight left! @SouthwestAir 7:05 AM • Dec 30, 2024 2.3M Views 366 689 34K ☐ 1.1K <]

  • The fact that the agent agreed that the flight crew was overreacting is all you need to know. We don't know who we feel worse for - the cat or the person. They both went through a whole lot, and we hope it never happens to them ever again.

    alex @barelyyalex Follow The original post was written when I was crying in the family bathroom directly after so I was stressed and trying to fit the word count lol so that's why it's more vague 7:13 AM Dec 30, 2024 1.7M Views 10 1751 16K ☐ 118 ↑ <]
