I’ve tried for years to convince them, but they always come up with some sort of reason.

I’ve done my homework on taking care of cats, grooming, supplies, litter, litter box, food, costs, etc.

I already have a goldfish at home and I do a good job taking care of it.

The only two reasons (IMO) my parents don’t want to adopt a cat is because they’re afraid of how depressed I’ll be when it dies and the costs.

My parents have owned pets before in their childhood lives, such as dogs, cats, fish, birds, and turtles.

I nearly “bombarded” my dad with information on taking care of cats and the supplies needed. He seemed very interested and said that he didn’t care about the costs. My mom is the tough one.

Any ideas on how to convince them, especially my mom?
I help around the house a lot. I fold my laundry, do all of my homework, make my bed, wash dishes, set up/ clean the dinner table, vacuum my room, and occasionally mop/ sweep the floor.

Plus, my parents do not make deals.
(Tried it, very bad idea.)

About a year ago my cat ran away. I miss him and I am lonely. Now I want a new kitten. But my parents won’t let me. When I ask my mom she says yes as long as my dad says yes. But when I ask my dad he says no. I’ve tryed to explain that I will clean up after, feed, and care for a new kitten but he says no before I even finish! Right now my family has a 2 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. I feed the dog and cat and walk the dog with my sisters. My room is clean and I do my chores either the first or second time my parents ask. My dad has even told me I am his most responsible child and I have older siblings. I know I will be able to care for the kitten because I am homeschooled right now by tutors so I am home all day plus I am caring for 2 animals right now and I have cared for 3! How can I convince my parents to get me a kitten?
