how to convince my parents?

So my parents are the HARDEST to convince especially my mom. I went to my aunts house (sunday) and she told me about the kitten "he's still yours if your parents say its ok" is what she said. I really want this kitten and he can used to my fish and birds since he'll get used to them as he grows. I told my parents and my dad said "I'm not taking care of another animal if I can't even handle these!" He doesn't even take care of them at all! My mom said "DO YOU WANT TO GO ON VACATIONS BECAUSE WITH THAT ANIMAL WE WONT BE ABLE TO!" (Yes she yelled) and can't we just have someone take care of him while we're away we only leave for 3 days and come back in the morning on the 4th day. My uncle usually takes care of the birds and fish and he doesn't mind either but my parents don't want to ask him to take care of them because their "embarrassed" so is there any other way (that's cheap) to get someone to take of him and how to convince them to have the kitten?

    You don't. Your parents clearly do not want another animal. There is more to taking care of any animal than just getting it. Who is going to buy the food? The flea treatment? Pay to get it spayed/neutered? You? No, your parents are. It's your parents house and their rules. When you are an adult and out on your own, and paying your own bills, then you get your kitten. It's a cold, hard fact of life that we don't always get what we want.

    Move out

    You only want the kitten because you saw one and you will be bored of it in no time. You already have plenty of pets you dont take care of and don't pay for the food and vet bills of.

    When your parnts go on vacation they dont want to pay for someone to watch he cat and don't want to pay 200+ a week for the cat to be boarded.

    "I'm not taking care of another animal if I can't even handle these!"

    Again, you don't even take care of the pets you DO have. You only want the kitten due to you being bored of the pets you have

    Stop crying and whining like a spoiled baby.

    It is their house and they pay all of the bills, you don't.

    If your parents are caring for all of you animals you have now, buy the food and medical bills.

    When you grow up you can have all the animals you want in your own home.
