my mum loves animals but my dad is not keen. Me and my sis would have to be very nive to our dad to get any pets and it has worked. my mum took a stray cat in along with one of ours once.

My mums always been great about animals. Her parents had a smallholding, so she was used to having animals around and in the house. All of my family has pets.

I just find it odd when I go to a house and theres no animals!

My mum hates animals.. yes i know. how can anyone hate animals, but she really doesnt care for them, but me and my dad and my sister absolutely LOVE animals. Currently have 2 cats (one whom is a stray... My mum wasn't very keen on having her and wanted me to leave her outside but i wasnt gunna leave her in the cold) a dog, a hamster, and 2 goldfish and that amount has gotten smaller as i've gotten older. We've had about 10 hamsters, 2 rabbits, 4 G/Pigs, 2 dogs, 4 cats 2 horses, 1 pony, a goat and a pig at one stage. We live in the country so its not too much of stretch but my dad always talked her round and she actually picked out our dog. I think you have to make someone feel involved for them to accept the change.
