This is important cause it's about my cat and I need you to read it.
I'm just gonna say that I have a cat, yeah I own a cat, you already know, unless you don't, but his name is Sugar, he hated me, and he's also stupid and completely domesticated, he doesn't kill the flies in our house, he's scared of them. So anyway we have to go through a whole bunch of procedures of like vaccinating him and doing all that shit to get him to move here from where he is currently living which is with my dad in another country cause we used to live there but had to move, it's a long story.
Point is my cat has to go through these vaccines and shit to come here and we want him here because it is just completely better cause my dad is busy with work a lot and Sugar is a domesticated cat, he needs attention and someone who can be there for him.
The issue here is that, when he comes, my parents want to keep him outside, they want him to be an outdoor cat, and I'm sure you can tell from what I said earlier about him being literally afraid of everything and completely domesticated that this cat absolutely does not belong outdoors. Under any circumstance, a cat like this should not be left alone in the outside, in the cold and the rain, he would never survive everything that the outside world would present to him.
I can't convince my parents for him to be inside cause they don't want him inside cause they don't want to smell his shit and they just don't want him inside and they think he'll scratch up our stuff (we'll not if we got him a scratching pole then he could scratch that and leave our stuff be but whatever ig) and all that, they just don't want him inside.
So I'm scared cause... if it actually comes down to it, I think we might have to give Sugar away to someone who CAN keep him inside because we can't. And I don't want to do that to him. He has anxiety, we're the only people he knows, then all of a sudden he gets thrust into a new house with new people who we don't even know if they're gonna take care of him properly.
I really don't want it to come down to me having to suggest that and have that happen because I love Sugar with my whole heart and idk what it will take for my parents to let him come inside but whatever it is, I am willing to do anything so if anyone has any suggestions on how to convince them please please please help me cause I don't want to have to let him go because he doesn't belong outside, he's not a street cat, he's never seen an ant let alone had one on him and there are so many outside, he's gonna be so scared and I just don't want that to happen, and I don't want to give him away and both ways is bad, if I could just convince then to have him inside it would be fine but I can't and I've tried so hard please please please how do I convince them?
