The Facebook clip shows a man sitting next to a woman who appears to be breastfeeding on an airplane. Agitated, he complains to a flight attendant that the “baby” currently enjoying his meal is actually a cat.

During the four-minute video, other members of the plane’s staff join in the chaos as the young woman is adamant that she is just breastfeeding her baby.

After four minutes of furious talk, a security offer lifts the lid on the nursing woman and reveals the mystery below.

It’s a cat, but not a real one!

The woman holds a stuffed doll of a Lynx, which she calls an “emotional support animal.”

The absurd video was also posted on TikTok, getting millions of hilarious views, likes and comments.

Too bad, then, that everything is staged.

The cat is now out of the bag.

It’s a skit from comedy site The Goon – and everyone involved is an actor.

However, the most shocking revelation is that the story is based on an actual incident that allegedly took place earlier this month aboard a Delta aircraft traveling from Syracuse, New York, to Atlanta, Georgia.

The scandal involved a woman who let her hairless cat nurse mid-flight, according to Newsweek. A message on the aircraft’s communications system used by the pilots to send a short text to ground control reportedly read: “[Passenger] in 13A is breastfeeding a cat and will not put the cat back in its cage when [flight attendant] request.”

Most official airline policies support the right of mothers to breastfeed their babies on planes, although the rules on feeding felines are less clear.

Meanwhile, thousands of confused user comments are piling up on the parody video, with many seeming to have fallen in love with a perfectly executed re-enactment.
