My boyfriend wants to get me a kitten and I don't think my mom will allow it. We already have a dog that my mom got me for Christmas about 8 years ago, and we share the responsibilities of caring for her between the two of us. I feed her every day and play with her when I come home, but since I almost never take her for walks, my mom doesn't think I'm responsible enough to care for another animal, though I disagree.
I have a job that pays every week and I pay the insurance and gas on my car...assuming I actually get this animal, it will be entirely mine and not a family pet like the dog we have--meaning I will have to pay for food, litter boxes, toys and the like in addition to the other bills I have.
I don't think a kitten will be as demanding as a puppy (though I bet they probably destroy furniture more...), but I don't know what sort of argument to present to my mom to convince her I can handle the responsibility.
What should I say to prove I can handle the extra burden?
