Who doesn’t love cats?<\/h2>\n

Yes, I’m aware that some people don’t like cats, but that is probably because they’ve never lived with one. Cats are wonderful creatures. If you’re looking for reasons to get a cat, let me ask you – why not? They’re adorable. They are playful. Cats provide you with emotional support and they will be your best friend forever. You will have a companion with you through all your ups and downs. Sure, adopting a cat might be a huge responsibility, but it is definitely worth it. When you will recieve all that unconditional love, you will see no cons in getting a cat.<\/p>\n

However, some parents are hard to convince. But this girl didn’t let that hold her down. Her father, Christopher Doyle, shared a PowerPoint presentation on Twitter<\/a> that his daughter made for him, which included reasons to get a cat. The tweet went viral and for all the right reasons. Scroll down below to see it:<\/p>\n

This was the original tweet:<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She discussed the pros of getting a cat.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They also promised her a hamster 5 years ago. She never got a hamster.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Look at the effort she’s putting in this!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bonus points for that adorable kitten picture.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And after the tweet went viral, she got even more motivated.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She wanted to get a black cat, since they are the least adopted pets. That is mostly due to superstitions surrounding them. I’m sure you are aware of them as well. It is said that black cats bring you bad luck, which is completely false. Its 2020, its weird that people still believe that. Kentucky Humane Society Communications Director Andrea Blair<\/a> explained how black cats are usually adopted around Halloween every year, but then they are returned. \u201cThey have the very best intentions, but the unintended consequences are the perpetuation of the myth \u2013 which leads to black cats spending even more time in shelters.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Blair, \u201cBecause of their common color, [black cats] are the [ones] who are most likely to be overlooked in favor of cats with more varied color patterns. Black cats often take two to three times longer to get adopted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Doyle’s daughter’s arguments were legit, he is still hesitant to get a cat because his wife is allergic to them.<\/p>\n

People on Twitter supported his daughter.<\/h2>\n
