I saw this on Reddit today. It’s an a ACARS in-flight message from the cockpit to the ground.

The message further requested that the situation be addressed by the airline’s “Red Coat” team upon landing. Delta’s Red Coat team are their “elite airport customer service experts” who are “specially trained to handle on-the-stop customer issues”.
Flight attendant Ainsley Elizabeth also spoke about the bizarre incident in a TikTok video shared on November 13, Newsweek reported.
“This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby,” Ainsley Elizabeth said in her video “Her shirt was up and she was trying to get the cat to latch and she wouldn’t put the cat back in the carrier. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
She added that “security met the flight” and asked her to stop.
Further details of the incident were posted on Twitter by an aviation enthusiast who spoke to a co-passenger who witnessed the incident. According to him, the woman kept on trying to breastfeed her cat despite cabin crew asking her to stop.
