Owning a pet is like having an extra family member. I never had pets growing up but my brother and I would try to convince our mom to let us get a cat. My argument was that they’re low maintenance and you don’t have to take them for walks.
The “Why you should have a cat” Twitter account is self-described as the “perfect account to show to your parents when you want a cat.” They share pics of cats that will make it hard for your parents to say no.
