When a cat has airplane ears, it usually means that the cat is in a state of tension. It may be threatening to fight back, or it may be observing every move of its prey, ready to attack at any time, or it may be forced to be vigilant and want to escape at any time.
Of course, when the owner touches the cat's head or chin, the cat will squint and purr with satisfaction. At this time, the ears may also be exposed to the ears of the plane, but this is only in close interaction with the owner.
Many times, cats appear in the ears of airplanes, so they don't need to be touched or provoked easily. They are likely to treat you as dangerous goods and make defensive or aggressive behaviors.
