Convince Me: Should We Get a Cat?

Alright, internet, I need backup. My partner and kids are campaigning hard for a cat. The problem? We already have a golden retriever who thinks every couch is his personal fur canvas. I’m a dog person through and through—cats just seem like tiny, judgy roommates who don’t pay rent. But the family’s united front is strong, and I’m one “please” away from caving. Here’s the twist: if we do this, I want a cat that won’t turn my life into a hairball apocalypse. Bonus points if it gets along with a 3-year-old retriever who thinks everyone’s his best friend. Anyone out there made the leap from dog-only to dog-plus-cat? Did your sanity survive? Give me your best reasons to say yes (or no, if you’re brave enough). And if you’ve got a killer name for a white & ginger kitten, drop it below—because apparently, my family’s taste in names is tragic. #PetLife #CatOrNot #DogAndCat #Pets #Cats
