need help persuading!
Ok, I love animals. Right now I have 2 dogs, one outside and one inside. We also sort of have a cat, but really it just eats our cat food. Haha..anyway..I want to get a cat. Yesterday I went to the SPCA for a science fair project, and I just fell in love with this little white kitten. It is 80 dollars and I have the money, but the problem is my dad. Everyone else in the family is OK. I just need some things I could say to my dad to convince him! Thank you!

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
What I would do is tell dad that you are willing to love it, take care of it, and even pay for it. That way, your dad would know that after a few days, you wouldn't abandon the cute kitten! He also might be glad that he is not the one paying for it. But whatever you do, DO NOT beg. Begging get parents annoyed and your dad will just yell at you or say no(believe me, I know). You could also bring up how good you are taking care of your dogs! If he is still very stuborn, and he still says no, keep your hopes up. maybe later on he will let you have what you want! Hope I've been helpful!

I love animals, too. I also love the fact that I don't have to use condoms because I can never get my dog pregnant. Life sure is wonderful.
If only your dad is against it, you could consider recruiting the rest of your family to go with you to get the cat. That's what my family did when we got our first cat from the humane society, and my dad ended up loving the cat just as much as anyone.

i love animals too and some things i might tell my dad to let me keep one is that they are some what better then dogs, dogs eat things and chew on things, when you have a cat you give them some little toys and they will play all day lol they train better they dont run around and make alot of noise unlike dogs when they bark

aww one of the dogs lives outside? why? how would you feel if you had a sister, and she lived in the house but made you stay outside? that makes me feel sad.

Tell him that cats are cleaner than dogs. They dont chew things up either. And tell him that the cat will get groomed most of the time so hairs and furballs arent all over the house. Lol. My dad had a problem with all the cat hairs, but i still got a kitty!!

Cats are much cleaner than dogs and they go in their litter and if you agree to take care the cat yourself then maybe he will agree. They dont chew anything up like shoes like dogs and they hardly make any noise. If you tell it is something you really want and it would make you happy if you got then he should say it is ok.
