OT- My hubby doesn't want a kitten

If he does not want one maybe it's best if you don't adopt. It would put un-necessary strain on your relationship. Cherish the cat you have for now and wait a little longer.
Don't get one. I am speaking from a 45 yr. old perspective here, and am having this same discussion with my 19 yr. old on a daily basis. I have 3 cats. She wants a kitten for the same reasons you posted: cute, loving, wonderful, yet.....as you know, they grow up quickly and then what? You'll love the "cat", but you'll want another cute, loving, wonderful kitten.
I adore cats, but there are so many out there in need of a home because everyone wants a cute, loving, wonderful kitten. Please do what I'm suggesting to my daughter if you want another one, and adopt a full grown, cute, loving, wonderful CAT that is in need of a home because no one wanted it after it was no longer a kitten. It'll probably already be spaded, and have it's shots, so less cost there, and it will still be a fun friend for the cat you already own!! :D Full grown cats can absolutely become fast friends! Win-win!! :D
It can break your heart to see all the full grown cats at a shelter, and if you can bring a kitten into your home and heart, please try to do it with one of those beauties that are so in need of your love first! :D 'Nough said.

When I was married and my kids were little.. I wanted a pug puppy so badly, my now ex husband was against it.. so I just decided to bring it home, what could he do at that point? During our divorce he actually put in the divorce papers that I had no regard for finances and purchased an expensive pedigree pooch without discussing it with him... then a few pages later he asked for visitation with the dog!!!!!!!!!! LMAO. If you love your husband I would not actually recommend getting the cat without his agreeing! =)
I'm all with your husband on this. I am totally not a cat person, I tolerate them when at others houses but would never go out of my way to get one. Is your husband a cat person or does he simply tolerate the one you have?
If he isn't a cat person then I wouldn't try to force the issue after all is it worth the frustration over a cat? There will be bigger and better things to argue over.
