Answer:

in a plane flying above Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is the force that draws objects toward center of the earth. If you throw an object up on the earth's surface, you will notice that it will fall back to the ground due to the earth's gravitational pull on the object.

However, the further one goes from the earth's surface, the lesser the gravitational pull. Therefore the cat will experience less gravitational pull in an airplane flying at a higher altitude.
