Jason Kelce adamantly refuses to get a cat, despite pressure

In a recent episode of the New Heights with Travis and Jason Kelce podcast, the Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce, made it clear that he is absolutely not interested in getting a cat. This playful exchange between Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce gave fans a glimpse into their lighthearted banter and the dynamics of their relationship.

Kylie, determined to bring a feline friend into their home, posted a comment on the podcast's Instagram account, stating, ''I'm not asking for permission, I'm doing this.' - the exact quote I will say when I'm grabbing the keys to go get a cat.' However, Jason's response to this declaration was quite amusing. He admitted to googling 'how to lose a cat' in an attempt to find a solution. To his surprise, the search results only offered condolences for those who had already lost their pets, rather than providing any helpful advice on how to purposely lose one.

While Jason remained resolute in his opposition to having a cat, his brother Travis Kelce reminded him that he had previously mentioned appreciating outdoor cats. Jason acknowledged this but expressed his concerns that Kylie would inevitably find a way to bring the cat indoors. He envisioned a scenario where the children would want the cat in their bedrooms, leading to cat paraphernalia scattered throughout the house. He recalled his childhood memories of visiting friends' houses with cats and being greeted by the distinct smell of cat urine, a scent he was not eager to experience in his own home.

Travis, always ready to inject some humor into the conversation, suggested that if Jason were to get a cat, the podcast listeners should be given the opportunity to name it through a bracket-style competition. This idea did not sit well with Jason, as he made it clear that he had no intention of going along with the game. He jokingly warned the listeners that if they participated and named the cat, it wouldn't last long in their household.

During the episode, Jason also shared that after Kylie's initial message, many podcast listeners reached out to him with suggestions for different cat breeds. One suggestion was the 'ragdoll' cat, known for its affectionate and dog-like behavior. Another breed that was recommended was the tabby cat. However, despite these suggestions, Jason remained steadfast in his decision to resist getting a cat.

This amusing exchange between Jason and Kylie highlights the age-old debate of whether or not to introduce a pet into a household. While Kylie's enthusiasm for a feline companion is evident, Jason's concerns about the potential challenges and smells associated with owning a cat cannot be dismissed. As this playful disagreement continues, fans eagerly await the outcome and whether Jason will eventually give in to his wife's desires.

It seems that for now, the Kelce household remains a cat-free zone, much to Jason's relief. But who knows what surprises the future might bring?
