My Asian Parents vs My Cat: A Survival Guide

So you want a cat but your Asian parents think pets are "dirty" and "expensive"? Been there. Here's how I turned my tiger mom into a cat grandma in 6 months. Step 1: Start with the health benefits. "Mom, cats reduce stress and lower blood pressure!" Scientific facts work wonders. Step 2: Address the money concern. Show them your budget spreadsheet (yes, make one). Asian parents love financial planning. Step 3: The cleanliness angle. Emphasize how cats are naturally clean and use litter boxes. No outdoor mess! Step 4: Let them meet the cat "accidentally." Bring home a "friend's cat that needs temporary care." Plot twist: My mom now sends me more cat photos than I send her. She bought premium cat food and a heated bed. Dad pretends he doesn't care but I caught him baby-talking to Mr. Whiskers. Moral of the story: Asian parents will adopt your cat faster than you adopted it. #Pets #Cats #AsianParents
