Over the years I have owned several different cats and they have all brought me so much joy. The problem is, they have also created a lot tension between me and my parents, especially my mother. One of the main issues is that I absolutely refuse to declaw any cat.
My parents don't understand cat behavior, and my mother is afraid of Snowball for some strange reason. Ignoring what my parents have to say about the subject of cats doesn't work because they are persistant, again, especially my mother. I have thought about purchasing some educational videos about cats and watching them with my parents. Will this help my situation? Eventually, I would like to get a couple of kittens, but I also want the tension between me and my parents to end.
I would appreciate some opinions.
