How to get my parents to let me get a kitten.?

So long story short

I've been wanting to get a kitten for a long time now but it's hard cuz while ago my parents and I had a cat problem

A friend of mine got a kitten from someone without asking her parents and her parents r divorced and only her mom and step dad like cats so she asked me to watch the kitten 4 a weekend and I said ok and then she moved away leaving me and my family with the cat that we weren't perpared for. Cuz my friend asked me on a school day and have it to me durning school and what's really stupid is that it was only 2 weeks old, not ready to leave its mother

So then we tried to find a home for it and couldn't and said mayb we should just keep him

But we weren't ready for a cat, in fact we were probably gonna get another dog so my dog can have a buddy, and we had no time to get it fixed and spayed

And he scratched everything in our house

Finally we found someone who could take him and I miss him, so of course my parents r gonna b worried but this time we could b ready b4 Getting a kitten

How can I tell them that? Ik that we would have to get one that's probably a girl and already fixed and mayb even d-clawed to make my mom happy

But how? My parents r pretty strict sometimes but I'd like to get one for my b-day this month or mayb even x-mas

Please help thanks

(Ps excuse any type-o's)

    Not a very good friend, or cat lover. Try getting a friendly adult, spayed indoor cat from some people that are moving, but please not declawed. You can clip her claws and buy her a cratching post. Adult cats soon get the message when they scratch something they're not supposed to and you clap your hands.

    You like dogs? Get a puppy.

    You seem to only want the kitten to play, and when they get older they scratch things.

    Get a dog, they're much better pets and they usually stay just as playful and loving when they're older than an independent cat.

    My dad would've thrown that cat out if it scratched everything. I believe if a cat wrecks your belongings, it doesn't deserve to be your pet.

    Go for a puppy.

    PUPPY.

    you dont

    their house, their money, their rules. you can wait until you move out

    You had a cat, never took care of it, never trained it, let ti claw everything up and used excuses for being lazy. Your panrts wont allow another one becouse you never took care of the first one. They rightfully dont want everything clawed up again since you never bothered to get off your butt and train it

    You are too immature for one and not responsible enough for one at all.
