Tips On How To Talk Parents Into Letting Me Adopt Another Cat?

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 07:19:39 +0000

First of all- basic info:
- I’m 19 years old, live with my parents (yeah, ha-ha, go ahead, make fun…I get free food.)
- They’ve been paying for most of the cat food & litter, although I offer frequently to cover the costs (I work a 9-5 job, and would be able to afford it.) They paid for the adoption and initial vetting for my current two cats (7 months old and 10 months old).
- I have well over enough money to pay for another cat’s adoption fee and spay/neuter as well as initial vaccinations and first check up.
- Starting June 22, I’ll be paying higher health insurance bills for 6 months. (In addition to car payment, car insurance, gas, cell phone, etc… which are all completely manageable.) So money may get tight for awhile, but still I’d be able to afford emergency vet care and such.
- My dad does scoop the litter boxes, but that’s only because he INSISTS, (because once, he accompanied me on a trip to the allergist, who informed him that I was allergic to cats, and litterboxes were a source of cat allergen spores, so he’s since been paranoid…)
And it was like I was torturing them, trying to talk them into getting my first two cats (which they have since fallen in love with. My big “macho” dad even talks baby-talk to them.)
What can I do to convince them to let me bring home a 3rd cat?
Okay here are things that are NOT options:
- Moving out.
- Just flat-out disregarding the ‘asking permision’ issue, and bring it home anyway.
- Hypnotherapy. (It’s just not in my budget.)
So first off, in this situation, do you think getting a third cat is even a good idea?
And also, any advice on how to convince them?
(P.S. Sorry about how long this is, but please read as much as you can, I’d really appreciate any help you can give!)

I have a tigra at the moment but am having a few problems with it. When I brought it I wanted a Puma but thought oh well there isnt one I like at the mo ill go with a tigra (and I liked the Tigra). Now I want a Puma – trouble is my Tigra is a 1.4 16v and all of the pumas I have seen are mostly 1.7 16v (I know you can get 1.4 16 v but are rare) This obviously means I will go up in the insurance cat and also the tax will go up. Just wondering peoples oppinions with this and whether you have any info or what you would go with. Another Tigra or a Puma??????? Helpfull answers pleeeeeeeeeeeze Thanks in advance…
