Thank you for taking the time to consider our request. We will understand if you decide not to get a cat, and we won’t whine about it. The only thing that we ask is that you think over this carefully and take our points seriously in your decision-making.

I would also like to point out that I have some money saved and am willing to pay for the cat’s gear and stuff.
