How do I convince my parents to get rid of family cat?
I don't want this cat. I didn't want him when we first got him. I wanted a guinea pig, but for Christmas my dad got me a stupid kitten. I was super happy, and asked how long we could keep it. He said until it died. I really don't want to wait until he dies, I want this cat gone now.
He sneezes light green gooey snot everywhere. He is expensive. He keeps me up until 5am every night. He is annoying and knocks everything down. He gets ME in trouble.
My dad makes ME get rid of the snot, blame ME for being up late and making noise (I'm in bed, the cat is destroying my room), the cat lives in my room (sleeps in here, eats in here, litterbox in closet, plays here), he destroys all my stuff (new iPhone 4s even though it's old, it was expensive at the time), and more!
I want him gone, but my dad puts all the blame on me. "Anon, it's your cat." "Well, don't ask me for a cat next time." I've really had enough. He's an okay cat and I love him, but I won't ruin my sleeping schedule and be screamed at for something that I think is a "decent cat."
Added (1). Okay, I didn't clarify this but IK someone will say something about it:
I won't be killing the cat.
And I won't make it run away.
It will be just taking him to a shelter and rehoming him.
Added (2). Please read the question. He is in my room at night. He can't be in the basement. He sneezes because he just does. We have went to 4 different vets, they all say something about him being born with it and might grow out of it. He's not sick. He's sneezed for 3 years. We had the cat for three years. I did get the guinea pig, and at the time, the cat didn't live in my room (again I CAN'T ask people to get him out) and he was a great pet. Much better than the cat.
Added (3). And I know, pets are a HUGE responsibility. That's why I researched and loved my guinea pig (an old one close to death I only had for 1 year, no one wanted it since it wouldn't get along with the other pigs). I do know pets are NOT toys. I do NOT want this cat for that reason. My family likes to hold it until it meows, vacuum its back, and spin it around.
I find it really stupid that people think that I think pets are toys. If I knew he was coming, I would research the cat.
Added (4). I'm not dumb. Do you think I want an animal in my room? NO! I WANT HIM GONE! Idiots these days, smh. I researched a guinea pig because I expected a guinea pig. I don't think you people can read very well…
Added (5). People call me a spoiled child./ smh. Read the damn details next time. I did NOT expect a cat. I'm being FORCED by my parents to take care of a cat I did NOT ask for. WE DO TAKE IT TO A VET READ THE DAMN DETAILS. I said I would NOT toss this cat. I want him to get a good, loving home. My family doesn't care for the cat. Damn, point hunters.
Added (6). There are updates for a reason, he is NOT SICK. It's the way he was born.
Can't tell if troll or serious…
Anyway, he sneezes and has gooey snot because he is sick. He needs to see a vet.
He tears up your room and wakes you up at night because hes locked in there. A cat can't live in a bedroom. He needs free roam of the house.
Get rid of the cat if you don't want it, but do not get guinea pigs. They can be loud. Really loud. At night. They are also more expensive than a cat because they need daily veggies and unlimited hay. Not to mention they need a specialized vet which is usually more expensive.
At night keep him confined like in a basement or spare room, away from yours. With water and a litter box. Your cat should NOT live in your room of course he annoys you.
Get him Viralys its an anti viral med to put in his food.
If you still can't stand him please take him to a shelter and hopefully he gets an owner who understands, pets are not toys.
Please don't get ANY more pets till you grow up.
Btw your dad sounds dumb too.
Thank you for being a good person! I had a sneezing cat, too. Same thing happened, never went away. Your dad is a jerk, tell him the cat can't be welcomed back into your room.
LOL that your parents named you "Anon".
Wow aren't you an immature, spoiled, cruel child. If this cat has green snot tell your parents to take it to a vet. Or better - to a no-kill shelter because you and your family shouldn't have ANY pets if this is how you neglect them.
You are pathetic.
That's highly irresponsible of both you and your parents. Ask them nicely but if they say not it's just too bad. You can't toss a living creature that you're responsible for just because you don't want it- the most you can do is try find it a new home.
In your family, he may be your responsibility, but if you are under the age of 18 he is not legally your cat, he belongs to your parents, so you legally can't take him to a shelter.
He is sick. That is why there's snot everywhere.
He is bored, that is why he chews and destroys things.
Take him to the vet. Get him the care he needs. Play with him. Learn from the vet how to keep him entertained so he doesn't get you in trouble.
