That old chestnut

Today, I was trying to convince my flatmate to agree to let me get us a kitten. After gushing about how cute they are, and showing her loads of pictures, she just stared at me and said, "You really need a penis inside you now and again." FML

Don't listen to her. More pussy is always the answer.

I can't help but wonder why you're letting your flatmate control whether or not you can get an animal? Yes, you should ask each other before making huge decisions, but you contribute to the rent. It's just as much your place as it is theirs. As long as you maintain the cat (litter box, shots, etc) your flatmate should not dictate your decision.

Well you have to ask the other person. You can't just show up with the cat and say "Deal with it I pay rent" she does too. If she didn't want a cat then thy would have to settle on something else.

By getting a pet she makes use of a shared space. OP is doing the right thing by asking her flat mate permission, and her flat mate is well within her rights to refuse.

34 - Read your second sentence. You've just answered your own question. Thank you.

67- No, no. You misunderstand. I said she should ask their opinion; NOT let them make the decision for her. Instead of compromising on something, OP let their flatmate have complete control over what she could and could not have.

Next time tell your flatmate that having a cat keeps evil away while going to the bathroom in the middle of the night

@26: It's so unfair that you got down voted just because you like kittens.
