about
I'm Steph. I'm 18 and I live in Nevada. I love country music, cattle dogs, border collies, bicycles, dog training and guys. Probably not in that order.
I have a border collie/heeler, a heeler/greyhound, a goldfish, a betta fish, and a Colombian Redtail Boa.
Some other stuff, blah blah blah.
advice
Well I really really want a cat badly. I've had about 3 cats in my life and they were all bad. They scratched up the furnature or stunk up the whole house. Well basicly I really want a cat. My mom says no she says shell never get me a cat ever again. But I really want one. I keep telling her ill be responsible but she keeps saying NO. What can I tell her or do she can let me get a kitty?.! Help please!
PLEASE do not listen to the girl below who said to just go get one and sneak it in. That always ends terribly. It very rarely happens like it does in the movies
("meow"
"what was that?"
"oh, this kitten i irresponsibly snuck into your home against your rules weeks ago because I am a spoiled rich bitch and want a kitten because it is OMGSOKYOOT and will probably dump when it turn uncute"
"aww you're right, it's precious! let's give it some milk in a china saucer!" )
The kitten usually will end up in a shelter. That's what you should do, is volunteer at your local shelter. You'll be taking on responsibility, and it's one hell of a responsiblity, at that. You'll scoop litter until your nose burns and then some, brush the cats, feed them daily, help with feeding, and help with euths. It can be so rewarding, though, and it gives you responsibility. Once your mom knows that, promise to her you'll do all those things you do there - and follow through on that promise!! Cats are not just animals you can keep food out for and maybe clean their litter box once a week. You need to dedicate at least 1.5 hours a day to your kitten; it depends on you. Promise to have the cat spayed or neutered or better yet, adopt one you have come to grow attached to in your volunteering. Think this all through. What will you do with your cat when you go to college?
