Firstly, I agree with Raben. Secondly, my suggestion is to talk to your parents about fostering. Check your local shelter to see if they need foster parents for a kitten/cat. Something temporary like this allows your parents to see for themselves whether or not you are capable of caring for a cat or kitten of your own before making any commitment. Shelters will take care of all expenses and take the animal back if it isn't working out. You'll also be helping a cat in need while s/he waits for a new home.
And yes, the horse thing can work too with some parents.

Definitely agree to get a female cat (since it's mostly the males who spray and make people's houses smell like cat pee), and do some research on specific breeds that don't shed! Also, agree to save up and pay for a self-cleaning litterbox all by yourself, so there would be no way at all that you could neglect to clean up after the cat. Make sure you mention things like wanting "a companion to grow up with" and such that reminds your parents that you understand that this kitten will turn into a cat, and will be a long term commitment. Offer to care for a friend or neighbor's cat for a week or two for them under your parent's supervision so they can see that you will be a good caretaker. Remind them that cats aren't that high-maintenance... they don't require walking or potty training, and never bark at the neighbors or chase the mailman. If your parents are concerned about furniture and such, look at www.softpaws.com which cap the sharp tip that cats use to scratch with. Good luck- my cat Ellie rocks, and I always thought I was a total dog person!!

How about this one. in case you may not have sufficient money to advance a infant and placed it by ability of faculty without authorities advice do not have one contained in the first position. If impecunious and moronic moms and dads did no longer have toddlers we do not have an overhang of lower than appearing little ones that volume to no longer some thing and then the authorities makes a decision to get occupied with their lives.

Parent's initial conern: are you responsible?- Expenses?- Training?
You have to do your research. I assume your parents have not had a cat before cause I would not see it as a hassle or neuscance if they can take care of expenses for vets and food comfortably. Check out this page if you may have questions yourself. Also, I would defnitely recommend for it to be indoor cat.

The best advice I've ever heard... If you want a kitten, start by asking for a HORSE!!
