hi!!!
after i moved out my sister is home alone pretty much every day for at least 3 hours and she feels pretty lonely as a result
shes always wanted a pet (so have i) but we've never had one, shes recently spent the past half a year pestering my parents to get a snake, which was denied for obvious reasons
only real problem is that my mum is allergic to cats and so we have to get one of those special breeds that are more allergy friendly (research hasnt fully been done here yet but in theory this works) which increases the price significantly
both my parents had cats growing up, both lived on farms for a while so they just kinda had some around for mice and stuff so its pretty hard for my dad to come around to the idea of having to spend a decent sum of money on a cat
but i really think it will do all three of them good and i wouldnt particularly mind them getting one either (plan is to get one myself when im not a poor uni student)
i am in desperate need of epic arguments to convince my dad that he will also love a cat
thank you so much

When he dies his cat will eat his face, never waste a good face
why not get an animal that she isn't allergic to (dog?)

me n my sister got a cat this year while my parents were on holiday.

when I moved out, I got a cat like two months later. my parents really aren't into the idea of getting a dog, a cat much less. my mom has visited a few times and she really loves my cat and i send her photos and videos all the time. honestly all people have a soft spot for animals they just need to spend time with them lol. she's really opened up and hopefully i will sell the idea of her getting a cat too lmao
some really good talking points is that they're (mostly) inexpensive, and older cats tend to not be as needy as kittens. my cat i adopted is 4 years old and most of her urges to get into stuff or break things don't happen as often as some younger kittens i've seen. they have their own personalities and if you spend enough time with them you can build a really strong bond with them. they're sweet, and not a lot of responsibility at all! if they're concerned with having to spend a lot of time with the cat, most older cats do love to play but will also be content sleeping in a warm comfortable spot, or finding other ways to be a cat. also, there are plenty of ways to make your cat to feel happy and content, and they will show you that love in return :) cats have also been proven to help with depression - sometimes just having a pet around really helps with those feeling alone
also, there are a lot of hypoallergenic cats out there! you never know where you can find them, but a good place to start would maybe be checking your local shelters or maybe facebook to see if anyone knows a cat who needs a home. it might not be similar in your area, but some shelters where I live waive adoption fees if the cat has some sort of illness, FeLV to name one. medication is usually pretty inexpensive, and the cats will still go on to live long, happy lives. adopting a cat is way less expensive than buying a purebred cat from a breeder, and you'd be providing a home to one who really needs it :) heres a link to some hypoallergenic cats btw
