Sometimes, kids will put pressure on their moms and dads and start begging to get a pet. That’s when dads like Jason Kelce get creative.

Jason Kelce Does Not Want His Kids To Have A Cat
Jason Kelce doesn’t want a cat. But apparently, his daughters do. So, to dissuade their desire for a feline, he told a bit of a lie to his girls, Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 18 months. Jason shared with his brother, Travis, during an episode of their podcast New Heights that he told the girls that cats are “poisonous” so they’d stop bugging him to get one.
A shocked Travis asked him why in the world he would tell them that, and Jason bluntly responded,
“So that they don’t want cats. And I don’t have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified.”
Travis laughed at his brother and shared his disgust. Jason didn’t seem to care and said that “lying to your kids is important.”
Travis shot back, “Not in this regard. They’re gonna go over a friend’s house and f—ing scream bloody murder because they see a cat.”
It appears Jason’s wife, Kylie, isn’t helping his case and has assured their daughters that cats are safe.
“Kylie is like, ‘They’re not poisonous. Your dad is lying to you.’ I’m like, listen, If you have a cat, the government will come and take it from you because they’re so lethal that I mean, they can kill you … and they don’t even have to bite you. Just them licking you.”
Jason grew up with cats but is now a dog guy. He said they’ve ruined his future enough, and an indoor cat is never happening.
He said he might consider an outdoor cat. Maybe. It sounds like we’ll be meeting the family’s new kitten any day now. Right, Jason?
