Got flagged by the rental bot for 'suspicious activity' because I booked a place for my cat

Last month I tried to book an Airbnb in Austin for a long weekend and their automated system froze my account after I changed the guest name to my cat, Mittens. The bot sent me 4 verification codes and then banned me for 72 hours, even though I had a 5 star history. Customer support just kept saying 'our system detected unusual patterns' and wouldn't let me talk to a human. Has anyone else gotten locked out for something this dumb, or is my cat just too sketchy for algorithms?
