Thats an ok idea, unless anyone is allergic to cats in your family. If it was really meant for you to get a kitten, you would get one. maybe just don't mention it for a while. Then jus bring it up w/ the parent that is more likely to say yes! Hope it Helps!!!

Tell them that you'll feed it, water it, brush it, change it's litter and anything and everything else that it needs. If they still say no, it's their decision, but telling them that you'll take complete care of it will help a lot! Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
happy-helper answered Saturday November 12 2005, 6:17 pm: If you're really determined, I suppose you could say that you want to show them how responsible you can be by taking care of a kitten. This way, it gives them a chance to see you take care of it. If it doesn't work, don't be too upset...you could always bother them for ages until they say yes!
