So it says on our lease we are allowed to have pets but when I asked my brother in law and fiance (my roommates) if I could get a kitten, they got mad and said the litter will smell too bad and cats gets hair everywhere. I've wanted a cat since I've moved out of my parents 5 years ago and haven't been able to have one because the places we lived in before didn't allow them. Now that i have a lease that says we're allowed to, I still can't have one. I don't want to cause a fight but how do you think I could handle this peacefully?

Well the mature way would be: two against one, you lose.0

move out and get your own place where you can make all the decisions yourself0

Adopt cat, bring cat home. Let cat do it's thing. Roommates will fall in love with cat.0

^That = logic.
Another option would be to move and get your own place. You could become a crazy cat person.
And dogs are better anyways.0 -

Yeah, pretty much this. Sorry, hon, you may need to wait awhile longer for your furry friend.0 -

this is pretty much how my wife brought in our last cat0 -
I'm confused by your family tree.
You.
Brother-in-law with no wife?
Your Fiance? Are you referring to him as your roommate?
This is important. It's directly related to how you acquire 10 house cats.0 -
I have my last cat's ashes in my garage.
I'll send him out to you. Nobody can complain about that, right?0 -

This is what I did with our dog. Now my family can't imagine life without him.
BUT it's my family, different with roommates!0 -
My roommate won't let me bring a cat home either...but she is HIGHLY allergic to them.
Anyway, the house voted and you lost. Sorry.:flowerforyou: I love cats too!0 -
You get the cat anyways, duh. Let them know you're the king of the castle and they come 3rd and 4th after the cat.0

Watch a Kitten Cam immediately and the pouting will go away!

There are others to watch, but these guys are so cute. Hopefully it will keep you going (and your housemates happy, esp as they are family) until it's time for you to move on and have your own place.

Never stopped me from getting a pet anyway.
They ended up enjoying said pets quite a bit.0 -
I thought this was another cat gif thread...

Just get a cat and bring it home. Whats so hard about that?
The problem is that you asked first. Next time just do it and ask for forgiveness.

Quality cat litter will cover the smell as long as you clean and change it frequently. Females don't spray as much as males, but either way you must get the cat fixed. and yes some will disagree, but declawed if you have decent furniture. I buy the lint rollers at my big box store in 6 packs because my cat is semi long hair, but the dog hair I find is much worse!!
Biggest thing.... cats cost money just like kids. Vet visits, food, litter, toys, etc. It all adds up. Be sure you can afford it before you get it. Goldfish are so much easier, just not quite as loving :bigsmile:0 -
Cats are gross, they leave hair every place, they claw your furniture and you have to clean the litter box.
Do your self a favor and get a dog, a rescue, if you want a pet.0
