Cats are wonderful pets. They are curious, mischievous and affectionate, not to mention adorable! However, cats also require dedication and responsibility, so your parents may be hesitant to let you have a cat. You can’t force your parents to give in, but you can get them to rethink their cat care plan, talk to them calmly and thoughtfully, and act like a responsible person.

Ask why your parents don’t want to have a cat. Once you understand your parents’ concerns, you can find solutions. Listen carefully to what your parents say and don’t interrupt, then ask more follow-up questions.
- You can ask, “You know we don’t want you to have a cat. Can you explain to me why?”
- If your parents say you won’t clean the cat’s toilet, ask, “Why do you think that?”

Schedule weekly cat care. This is especially important if your parents think you don’t have time to take care of cats. Write down everything you need to do each day of the week. Calculate school, homework, extracurricular activities, and other to-dos, then think about how you’ll take care of your cat to fit your schedule. Show your parents your complete timetable.
- Usually, you need to spend 1 hour a day taking care of and playing with your cat. [1] X Research Source

Learn about the cost of raising a cat. Raising a cat can be quite expensive. In addition to the money to buy a cat, cat owners also have to pay for the costs of taking them to the vet, money for food, toys and medicine. You need to know these expenses so you can start saving money and presenting it to your parents.
- Adopting a cat at an animal shelter is the least expensive option. In the US, you will usually pay 50-100 USD to adopt a cat. [4] X Research Sources
- The cost of medicine, food, and other supplies for a cat is usually around $705 per year. [5] X Research Sources

Save money on cat purchases and other cat-related expenses. You should start saving money as soon as possible. Spend less of the pocket money your parents give you, find a job or ask them if you can make extra money by doing extra chores around the house. [6] X Research Sources
- Your parents may be able to help you pay for your cat’s expenses, but you should still contribute as much as you can.

Describe the benefits of having a cat. Learn about the benefits of having a cat. List all the reasons why you think a cat would be a good member of the family. Take the time to think about how to deal with your parents’ concerns. You can provide this information when talking to your parents, creating a powerpoint presentation, or writing it down.
- For example, if your parents were afraid of taking care of the cat, you could remind them that it was always your responsibility to take care of the pet in the past.
- If your parents are concerned about cats dirtying the house, say that you have a way to prevent it and will clean up if something goes wrong.
- Add that adopting a cat from an animal shelter is a charitable act because thanks to that, the poor cat has a home.

Pre-presentation set. If it’s a presentation, practice it a few times until it’s fluent. If you’re going to have a casual conversation with your parents, think about what you want to say and practice speaking in front of a mirror. That way, you’ll remember all the important points when you discuss them with your parents.

If someone in the house has allergies, you can suggest that your parents consider buying a hypoallergenic cat breed. There are many breeds of cats that are hypoallergenic, but if your family can’t afford such a cat, the idea of having a cat is probably not very good. If someone in your family has a cat allergy, it may be difficult for you to convince your parents to adopt a cat, unless you find a breed that is hypoallergenic. If this is the case, you should consider getting another type of pet. [7] X Research Sources
- If you love cats too much to keep them, try volunteering at an animal shelter to play with the cute cats there.

Choose a good time to talk. You have to make sure your parents are free. If your parents are out of breath or in a hurry because they’re going to be late for work, wait until things calm down. Choose when your parents are happy, because then they will be more willing to listen to you. [8] X Research Sources

Start by showing gratitude for everything your parents do for you. Don’t act like you deserve to have a cat. That will only make your parents brush it off. Instead, open your mouth with gratitude. Your parents will be more open to your arguments. [9] X Research Source
- You can say to your parents, “Mom and Dad, first of all I want to say thank you so much for taking care of me and working so hard to give me such wonderful things.”

Tell your parents what you have learned. If you’ve prepared your presentation, it’s time to present it. If not, please state the important points that you have prepared earlier. Remember to talk about your cat care plan, about why you want a cat, and how you will address your parents’ concerns.

Say that you will contribute up to the amount you have. You may not have enough money to pay for all the expenses, but offering to pay part of the cost of the cat shows that you are serious about it. [10] X Research Source
- Suppose you have 500,000, but the cat costs 1 million dong, you can say, “Mom, I love to have cats, but the cat in the center costs 1 million. If I have 500 thousand, can you pay me the rest?”
- Or you can offer to pay for the cat and ask your parents to pay for other expenses.

Promise your parents to improve your grades at school or do more housework. If you get grade A next month, maybe your parents will let you have a cat. You can also promise to do more housework from now on. Whatever you and your parents agree on, you have to do it right. By doing so, you are demonstrating that you are willing to take on the responsibility of raising a cat. [11] X Research Source
- You could say, “If I get an A in math next month, will you let me adopt a cat? Math is a difficult subject for me, so I have to work hard. I will prove to you how determined I am.”

Stay calm when talking. If you get angry, your chances of convincing your parents are slim. Try to stay calm and avoid getting angry, even if your parents explicitly say no. If you feel like you’re about to get angry, take a few slow, deep breaths. [12] X Research Source
- If you can’t calm down, ask your parents if you can talk later.

Give your parents a few days to think before responding. If you force your parents to answer right away, chances are you’ll get the answer “no”. Instead, give your parents a few days to think and decide. [13] X Research Source
- Say, “Dad, don’t answer me right now. Parents, just think about it and let me know later.”

Behave respectfully if your parents disagree. Sayings like “My parents don’t agree all the time!” or “You never got what you wanted!” It doesn’t help you at all in this case. If you get a “no” answer, accept it and try again another time. Your mature behavior at this time will increase your chances of getting your parents to disagree.
- Ask why your parents disagree. Who knows, you might think of a way to move your parents!
Show responsibility

Do what your parents say without complaining. Showing you are responsible can be very helpful in convincing your parents to let you have a cat. Start by doing household chores or making your own bed without whining or grumbling when your parents ask you to, and don’t procrastinate. Do it as soon as your parents tell you to.

Stay calm when arguing. When disagreements arise, you need to act as calmly and maturely as possible. Avoid yelling, nagging or interrupting your parents. Listen to what your parents have to say and be willing to compromise. [15] X Research Source
- If you want to go out with your friends but your dad wants you to stay home with the family, don’t fight back. Instead, come up with a solution to stay at home half of the evening, with the rest of the time hanging out with friends.

Keep promise. When you promise to do something, you must do it to the end. If you told your mom that you would finish your homework before coming to your house to play, then do it. If you keep your promise to stay at home to babysit or come home on time, your parents are more likely to believe that you keep your promise to take care of the cat. [16] X Research Source

Actively help parents when needed. If you see the sink full of dirty dishes or the floor covered with crumbs, don’t wait for your parents to ask for help. Clean up without waiting to be told to do it. That way you’ve shown your parents how responsible you are.

Do good deeds unsolicited. You can teach her to do her homework, fold the laundry when it’s done, or make dinner for the whole family. These small actions show that you are thoughtful and will take care of your cat. [17] X Research Source
- Don’t keep saying “Have you seen a good child!” Quietly doing good deeds for loved ones will be much more meaningful and also prove you are much more mature.
Advice
- Unless you have a passion for a particular breed of cat that only cat breeders have, go to an animal shelter to find a cat. Most pets are there because of changes in their owners’ lives, not because of behavioral problems. You’ll find a cat that’s cheap, healthy, and often spayed. Plus, you’re doing a good deed too!
- If you decide to buy a cat from a cat breeder, choose someone who is reputable and focuses on the interests of each cat.
- Don’t give up if your parents don’t agree. Maybe your parents will change their mind later if they see that you really want to have a cat.
- If your parents say that cats will ruin things in the house, tell them that you will find a cat that is well trained and won’t scratch things. You should also let your parents know that, if your cat does scratch, you can choose to use products such as cat gloves, cat nail buttons, and furniture protectors to prevent the cat from damaging the furniture. Note that cat nail clipping should only be applied when there is no other way. Cat nail clipping is very painful and is similar to having the middle knuckles of the fingers amputated.
- Act responsibly and don’t give up!
- Don’t wait until your parents tell you to do it a second time.
- If your parents are concerned about their cat’s behavior, be sure to choose a calm and gentle cat. A naughty cat can be more fun, but it will also require more care. You also need to choose a friendly and well-trained cat if possible.
Warning
- You need to make sure you’re ready to take on the responsibility of raising a cat before you spend time and effort convincing your parents.
- If you’re planning to study far away at university, you probably won’t be able to bring your cat into the dormitory. You need to make sure that your parents will take care of the cat for you when you are not at home.
