Many questions about kittens (sorry) really concerned!?

So my cousin just had a liter of 4 kittens (they are about 3-4 weeks old). My aunt reserved the kittens for one of some of my cousins. She also reserved one for me. I'm trying to get my parents to let me have but they say it costs too much to own one. I have parakeets and guppies which may interfere with a kitten. But my cousin who owns those kittens has a dog parakeets and fish so does owning a kitten really interfere with the animals? Also, I know kittens are a lot of responsibility but Im really responsible. I wanted a kitten since I was 5 and I'm 13 now. I really want a kitten and I don't have to buy one since my aunt is going to give it to me. How much does it cost every year or month to own a kitten.

    LOL! So you are under the delusion that since you don't have to "buy" this kitten it will be "cheaper"? You are SO wrong.

    These kittens won't be altered, up to date on shots, deflead, dewormed, diseased tested or chipped. You have $300-$400 to get all that done?

    If your PARENTS want to get a kitten they can go to a shelter and adopt one. For only around $100 they can get one with EVERYTHING already done. But clearly you're not taking care of the other pets you begged for and no longer want so you're out of luck.

    They are going to have their shots by the I (might) have it and you people are harsh! I do take care of my other pets! All I need to know is how much is it for food, toys, etc. How is it to own a kitten too and how to convincr my patents. My mom sorta likes the kitten but I'm not sure about my dad. AND PLEASE STOP BEING RUDE! And why would I want to spend 100 bucks on a kitten that has all its shots if I'm getting a kitten for 0 bucks that has all its shots? -_-

    There is no such thing as a free kitten. By the time you get that free kitten spayed or neutered, vaccines, flea treated and wormed, you'll be spending over $400 on your free kitten. Keeping any animal isn't cheap. You need quality food (not junk from the grocery store), annual vet visits, monthly flea treatment, and vet visits if/when it gets sick. If your parents aren't willing to pay the monthly expenses, then you don't bring a kitten into your home.
