Crying Cat on Red Eye from JFK to CDG

No crying baby but crying cat in crate disturbed many passengers. When I boarded, I saw a man and a woman with a cat in a crate and thought little of it, however, I was awakened during the red eye by intense screeching, crying of the cat! I was able to fall back asleep as I was far enough away but could only imagine what it was like for those seated nearer the cat. When the breakfast cart started coming down my aisle, I headed over to the restroom away from the cart but close to the cat. I was first in line but waited over five minutes when passengers near me started ringing for the flight attendant. When she came, they gestured angrily at the restroom saying it had been occupied for over 15 minutes. She knocked and knocked and knocked when finally I heard the lock slide over. The man and the cat in the crate came out!! Dagger looks from those passengers were sent in his direction. I had to wonder just what had gone on in that restroom with the guy and the cat for over 15 minutes!

He probably just took the cat out of the crate to give it a break. Perhaps he should have had a sedative for the cat…or the other passengers!

Hopefully 'Fluffy' got put on the 'no fly list', to preclude a repeat.
