Ever since he was six years old, Ali had wanted to get a Kitten. His parents always refused. They said he wasn’t capable of taking care of a kitten. “You have no idea how much work a kitten is,” Dad said. “You would have to housebreak the kitten, train the kitten to obey you, and groom it, too.”

“And then there’s taking the kitten to the vet, playing with it, and feeding it,” Mom added. “It’s not that I’m against having a kitten. But a kitten takes up a lot of time.”
