Is there anything we can/should do?
- Bring antihistamines
- Request to be reseated or rebooked
- Understand that if up until this point you have yet to encounter this situation it is highly unlikely you will. Despite the impressions on this thread/FlyerTalk in general, animals, including ESAs, are relatively rare.

I’m up to nearly a million miles BIS in United and I have yet to see a cat that I can recall.
