Seattle woman sues Blue Angels claiming the military jets traumatized her dying cat
A Seattle woman has sued the Navy Blue Angels, claiming its military jets traumatized her dying cat.
The Navy’s flight demonstration squadron, made up of 140 active-duty Sailors and Marines, has been performing shows across the country since 1946. They have a show scheduled in Seattle in early August.
A lawsuit filed by Lauren Ann Lombardi on Monday claimed the Blue Angels’ annual airshows over Seattle in August 2023 and 2024 put her cat Layla, who suffered from congestive heart disease, under extreme distress, local outlet KIRO 7 first reported.

Lombardi claimed the sound of the squadron’s low-flying fighter jets caused Layla to have panic attacks and dangerously elevated her heart rate. She was put down in August 2024.
