Tips on Persuading OH

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had tips on how to persuade OH that Diego NEEDS a playmate.
Diego is 6 months old and neutered. He is hyperactive and really do think that he would benefit from having a playmate. (as well as the fact that I have popped like pringles and don't wanna stop at just one Bengal)

Trouble is convincing my hubby that it would help calm the situation and not make it twice as bad.

Please let me know how you all managed it with your 2nd and 3rds and 4ths. LOL

We had Rosy a year and a half before I convinced OH that she needed a playmate, along came Milly. With Jasper I got him flown over to Cyprus for a 40th birthday present without him knowing, he did go ballistic for about 15 mins then accepted that he was here to stay. I'm trying to convince him that Jasper needs a playmate as the girls don't really play with him, but no such luck yet, maybe once we've moved back to the UK he will give in.

Good luck :lol:

my story went like this .... ( and its still got more chapters to come :lol:

)

My two moggies had passed due to old age and after a couple of years bereft of felines I desperately wanted another - OH said no way ('cos he's delusional that way)
then I fell in love with bengals, OH drove me to visit the breeder but insisted there was no need to come in with me but he did and he chose Bella :lol:

Bella was so gorgeous but a tad lonely so I told OH I was going to see another kitten for Bella :roll:

OH didn't come .... I chose Tofi
Then Tofi needed a friend 'cos Bella picked on her loads so I showed Jika's picture to OH and said I'm seeing him on Friday... OH said "you'd better not come back with another bloody cat" (obviously still showing all the signs of slight mental incapacity)

well I didn't, 'cos you never go to a breeders then choose your cat and come home with it ... you put a deposit down ... which I did and picked Jika up a week later :lol:

Well now Bella has toned it down with Tofi - but I'm thinking Jika needs another boy to play proper boy games with and that folks is the next chapter
