How do I persuade my mum to let me get a kitten?

Question

So, I've wanted a cat ever since I was 11. I'm 16 now, the only reason my mum doesnt want one is because she claims she is allergic to them. Like she says she sneezes alot around them. Will she ever let me get one? I want one, so, so badly. I know I will be able to get one when I'm older and living in my own house...But that might be 5 years or so...Help?

Answer 1

get one of those bald cats

theyre hypo-allerginic :D

Answer 2

Well I know its not every young giolddream pet but. If yuor really looking for a kitten. You might want a bald one?

Answer 3

Try and take here to someplace that has kittens for her to hold them. Talk to her about it more. Maybe she had a bad experience with a cat and is nervous to tell you.

A lot of people are allergic to the cats hairs. Talk to her about getting a hairless cat. (It may sound weird.) But no one can me allergic to them because they don't have fur.

Whatever your mom says will happen for the best, but right now you just need to talk to her more about it. Do more research. Visit the pound or a shelter once a week or month with her to show her that cats are nice and she would also enjoy it, not just you.

I want a dog and I have wanted it for 12 years but whatever my mom says goes, and she says no but lately that she wants one, I am disappointed because when I finally get enough money to move out I will be very old and might not have time for a dog. But I just have to stick it out, and you can too. Sooner or later it will happen.

Just believe :]

A lot of people are allergic to cats.  It can be horrible for them.  

Cats can be a lot of work.  They can really stink your house up.

If you do want one, get one from a shelter or the pound.  

Answer 5

ask her if you can get one of those ugly bald ones ..

if shes allergic then its abit unfair harrasing her for one.

My cat died recently, after we had him for 22 years (i know haha oooold ) and we cant get another kitty cos my mom and bro are allergic, but they were used to princey =S

Answer 6

If she's allergic - she's allergic. There is no way she could avoid the cat as it's the fur she's allergic to and that'll get everywhere. Just be patient until you're older.

Answer 7

Get one from the pound whatever you do please. :]

Answer 8

Um, if your mum is allergic to them, having a severe allergic reaction can kill her. Wait until youre all grown up, yeh?
