She wants to have a cat.

hi lyn, If ever I can give you my CATS and KITTENS I have many varieties of them just tell me and I will deliver it in front of your door for FREE. Odie did not grow up having a cat around unlike my dogs they even share food with them. happy mylotting

Everywhere there are wonderful stray cats who would love a home and lots of families have cats that unexpectedly produce kittens that they cannot keep and have to find homes for, so I don't see why anybody needs to buy a cat. But as you suggest, people ought to be very careful not to adopt a cat if they have other animals that might not be cat friendly or if they do not have the time and space and means to provide love and food and care for the cat. Our friend has spend hundreds of dollars on her cat lately because it needed to go to the veterinarian for different expensive things. That is something to think of too.

first, tell her that the ONLY kind of cat she can have is a rescue cat and ONLY after Odie is gone (hopefully many, MANY years from now.) There are plenty of purebred cats in rescues, even certain rescues dedicated to certain breeds... http://www.siameserescue.org/

Well, who is the parent? Maybe you could get them interested in something else. Is Odie a dog? Sometimes they get along well with cats. Animals of any kind are alot of responsibility. How about a gervil or a mouse? Even a rat? I guess a kid does need a playmate and some just have different ideas of what that should be.

Hi lynn,like you,i love cats but i have no time to raise a cat,i think your daughter maybe feel lonely,she need to have a playmate,maybe you can buy a cat pet for her,she will feel happy ,you think?

I don't like pets at all. I think it is too troublesome and I have no time to take care of them. Also my mother will not permit.

Do you have animal shelters near you? I would recommend getting a cat there. Cats sold in shops often have a lot of problems, and come from places that should be shut down. And if you get a cat from a shelter, you are assured to get a cat that is already fixed, plus has all their current shots.

she really should get a cat from adoption. some of them are pure breeds that someone just couldnt keep and they will be killed if no one takes them. is that your mom or a room mate?

CAts take a real committment on the part o the whole family, they require daily care and are sure to spread hair and scratch where you don't want them. So until everyone can agree please don't get a cat, you will not be doing the cat a favor tking it into a divided house/

I don't think it's a good idea either if Odie is not used to have cats around. They won't get along together for sure. Maybe you can tell your daughter to have other pets aside from cat or else she will have problem with dog and cat war -hehehe

Well, we brought our first cat into the house about two and a half years ago and we actually did already have pet dogs in the house and it was something that I was apprehensive about. However, it has actually been a lovely relationship between the dogs and cats in our home. With that said, we would never adopt a cat from a breeder. The cats that we have right now, one of them was adopted from our local humane society and the other was given to me from a friend of mine. I prefer pets that come from the humane society personally.

I once saw a cat in a pet shop. The price? oh! its P4,000! too high for a cat. See my cat in my picture? I just asked that cat... pure white. He plays with my hamster...

Hi friend, good to know that your grand daughter is interested in cats, it is really hard to manage lot of pets, as you mentioned you already had a pet, take care of it
