How do you persuade your parents to get a second cat?

Answer 1

First, show them how responsible you are. Do your chores, practice your sports or music, earn good grades on homework or a test, and if you have other pets, be sure to take care of them properly.

Second, research, research, research. Spend a Saturday on the internet or reading a book about what you want. Write reports and take notes, and casually leave them around. When your parents ask you what it's for, say "Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and what I really want is..."

Third, save your money. Calculate exactly how much you'll need, and save save save! At dinner or during a car ride, say "I've been saving my money, and guess how much I have now?" when they ask what you've been saving for, answer them, "A (so-and-so)! When are you taking me to get it?"

Fourth, make posters and PowerPoints describing what you want, why you want it, what you have done and will do to get it. Point out the good and bad things, and solutions for the bad things.

Fifth, write down "guilt-facts" on small slips of paper, and leave them where your parents will find them, such as the bathroom counter, near the coffee, on their desks, etc. Put things such as "i need to learn responsibility for my future, and you are holding me back!" or "1,000,000 guinea pigs get put to sleep a year becuase nobody wants them. if we don't get one, that's like murdur!"

Sixth, hint. let your parents hear you talking to a friend or sibling about how much you want a guinea pig. on a boring day, say "(sigh) if i had a guinea pig right now, I wouldn't be so bored!" at dinner or during a car ride, "I have even more money saved up in my (so-and-so) fund! I have (so-and-so) dollars now!"

Hope this helped!

Answer 3

Try talking to your parents. Make a list of the benefits of having a pet and the not so good reasons for having one. Once the good is more on the list than bad take it to your parents and see what they say. However, there could be reasons outwith your parents cannot have a pet never mind a cat. They could not be allowed one due to lease terms. One could be allergic to cats. So that's why it's best to sit down and talk it out.

Answer 4

It really depends on the person, and what position you are in to convince them. A child trying to convince a parent to get a cat is a very different situation from someone trying to convince a friend to get a cat. The best option is probably just helping them discover the benefits they could receive if they owned a cat. Also, if they can decrease the things that would be hard about owning a cat, this may also help them discover that cats are very rewarding pets. Perhaps encourage them to research cats and think carefully about why they shouldn't get a cat. If a person realises that getting a cat wouldn't inconvenience them in any way, and would provide them with a loving pet, they may consider buying a cat. A lot of people who do not want a cat think about the price of cats, and caring for them, because cats really are not really extremely cheap. Food, care, price of the cat, vet checks, injections and health all add up. Also, cats like a fair amount of company and care. Remind the person about the benefits of being the owner of a cat and encourage them to take precautions so that the care of a cat won't inconvenience them much and be worth it in their mind. Hopefully they will take your words to heart.

Answer 5

Give them reasons on why you should have a cat and show that u will b responsible for it.

Answer 6

1. Well, first, you should ask when they are not busy, and when they are in a good mood, if they are working, they are most likely not listening.

2. If they say no, then you should politely ask why, arguing will show that your less mature.

3. If they still say no, then try saying, "What can I do so I can get the cat as a reward?" usually trying harder for grades, or more chores will work.

The most common reason for them saying no is usually that they don't what to end up taking care of the second cat too. Sometimes they say no because, they don't want to pay for the second cat, sometimes saving money enough for the first vaccines and visits to the vet will show you are truly trying to work for the new cat.
