An Alaska Airlines customer exploded at staff after they refused to let her stash two cats under her plane seat.
The passenger, who later identified herself as Alexandra Compton, from Portland, Oregon could be see lashing out at the workers Sunday as they calmly explained their pet policy.
'Show me the policy, then, before I booked the flight, that said that I had to have a certain weight of cat to go under the seat,' Compton, who lives in Las Vegas, fumed.
She then accused airline staff of 'ruining Christmas' after they explained that the cats would not have a full range of motion and needed to to travel separately in bigger carriers.
'You haven't even seen my cat, so you're not letting me go home for Christmas,' Compton shot back.
'I don't have people here to watch my cat. 'I don't live here. I live in Oregon. I have an Oregon ID. I need to go home for Christmas.'
An employee informed her that the issue was not with the weight of her cats, but rather with their size.
Her angry outburst at an unidentified airport was captured in a TikTok video where she was deemed the 'Two Cat Karen'.
An airline staffer asked Compton to lower her tone, as he tried to show her how to correctly book a reservation for her cat on Alaska's website.
'That's not where I booked my flight, though,' she claimed.
Compton's distress only increased after she was told that she had never even booked her pets for her upcoming flight.
'My mom tried to and your website obviously isn't user friendly, so I'm asking you to show me right now, where she would've learned that before she booked my flight, so this issue would've never happened?' Compton said.

Not to worry she probably has another couple of dozen cats in her home
NOT GUILTY!
Yes, she was a bad girl.
But finally a Karen whose cause I can at least muster some sympathy for!
Portland, Oregon.....I think I see the problem.................
Her excuse should have been one is a post traumatic stress animal-assisted therapy (AAT) cat, and the other is a totally different animal-assisted education (AAE) cat under training regimen at the moment.
Believe it or not these two can be signed up officially in some places.
Crazy Cat Lady in the making if not already there.
Jaysus what a pain in the ass.
wish that pets flew with luggage all the time.
I’m a crazy cat lady.
I would never subject my cats to airline travel.
Her eyes are too far apart. Like the “colossal squid”
I'll give you my optometrist's phone number - try to have someone else drive you until you get your vision fixed.
Was she a character in Portlandia?
Hey, we’re on to something here. we can rate the “Karen-ness” of Karens by appending a cat number to her. Ratings go from a only sligntly laughable one-cat Karen to the dreaded ten-cat Karen. And for the ones who remind you of top level AWFL DemocRAT semi-human things, there’s the penultimate Eleven-Cat Karen.
Had a guy in my row when I went back for Thanksgiving that had his small pooch under his seat. Not sure how huge her cats were - or if it was the combined weight - but the guy’s dog was incredibly well behaved. He also said it was its first time flying.
I understand cat love. I’m not sure exactly when the threshold is reached where one goes over the crazy falls. Is it the number of cats get so many you can’t take care of them properly anymore?
JD warned us...
Neither, to my mind.
But then I don’t take crazy cat lady as s pejorative. :-)
In the case of the above woman, I think she’s just an inconsiderate wretch. With cats, sadly.
My feelings too!
I can easily cram four cats into my computer back pack, to stow there.
