He is darling. Never mind your dad, just remember an old say, " You can't please everybody", and in life, you will find that to be very true. Your mom apparently appreciates your little love, thank goodness.
And it sound like your dad is not putting up much of a stink because you are allowed to have him, so just be grateful for that, and who knows, maybe in time, your sweet boy will "grow on your dad". ( stranger things have happened)
Anyway, what is your little one's name and how old is he? Please tell us more about him.
Is the other cat their mother? So sorry the sister disappeared, but as you know it is a very real reality that disappearing, sickness or worse can happen to our pets if we leave them to fend for themselves out of doors. I am glad to read that your dog and Mittens have bonded and are close. Do the two of them nap together? It is wonderful that Mitten's sisters disappearance has bonded the two of you . How is Mittens doing with using a litter box? You really should keep him indoors 24/7. If your dad sees how happy you are with your sweet Mittens and the rest of the family apparently has bonded with him, (dog included), hopefully he will be less resistive to allowing him be an exclusively indoor cat. (Your mom hopefully can help with this as well, (fingers crossed). Anyway, we are glad for your update here, and please work on winning over dad. It will be worth it in the long run, I promise!! Keep us posted on any updates!!

the other Cat is his brother. Mittens will lay out on the deck with the dog but mostly they play together. It is really cute. I haven't litter trained him yet but I am going to this summer. My mom has been working on my dad for a while. I will say we have come a long ways with my dad letting him come in sometimes so there is hope for more! My dad thinks two indoor cats are enough but me and the rest of my family think three is purrfect. Lol

most definitely four are even more perfect than three. I would take them all in if I could and that would total at seven cats all together.

- Trust me on this: he's one beautiful cat. What more important, however, is that he has Love in his heart - something which cannot be said for all people.

Thank You! Lol sometimes I think it's a guy thing (not all guys but quite a few)! I've had boyfriends that were kind of that way too.

- Do you know what's more important than this? Nothing.

He knows how much you love him and he feels the same way about you.
