We have an almost 3 year old boy cat. DSis's cat had kittens a couple of months ago and today I brought one home. He's bloody gorgeous! However, DH not happy and hasn't spoken to me since he came home. Will he come round???? I hope so.

I'm clearly a bad un too. My dh said we're not getting another kitten when my geriatric cat is no more. Yeah right we'll see about that..... He keeps buying bloody vintage tents (8 and counting) without consulting me, so it's fair game as far as I'm concerned. Gorgeous kitten

Your DH isn't talking to you?! Who cares! You have a cute kitten to cuddle 
.
Your DH will come round anyway. You'll catch him giving kitty a sneaky cuddle and baby talking to him very soon.

Your DH may not come round. In which case you'll miss him. (DH, not the kitten)

He is really cute
I did this to DH 13 years ago - consulted, was told no, and turned up after work one day with a tabby kitten in a box anyway. In my defence I had recently had a miscarriage and wasn't wholly rational at the time. DH tried to be pissed off, but a) he didn't want to argue in the circumstances b) tabby kitten SQUEEEE!
13 years on our boy doesn't have much time left 
but he has spent most of those years cuddled up to DH. I can count the days he has sat on me on 1 hand.
Enjoy your ginger cutie - I give it a day at the most before he belongs to your DH!

Oh my, he is a gorgeous little ball of fur there is no way your DH can possibly be angry for long. His eyes are just amazing! The kitten, not your dh, although I am sure he is nice too

thats what we did, Batcat spent the first week in the bathroom, coming out for 'supervised' visits.
The funniest incident was when he found Grumpyladys blanket covered perch in the bay window.... he was sat up there on her blanket, pleased as punch, and she clocked him.. i thought she was going to go for him, but instead she stuck her claws in the blanket, pulled it slooooowly out from underneath him and sat on it.

Like your DH is going to be able to resist that gorgeous ginger face !
My dh is not a pet person really... but somehow we have managed to have 8 cats over our 28 year relationship :) (Two died of old age, lost two to roads, one to cancer... have three still going strong!)
Apparently I can't have any more until we are down to two.
What he doesn't know yet is that the next cat is probably going to be a dog ... (oh there will be more cats.. I am NEVER going to have fewer than two at any time!)

Aww I want a cat, my gf hates them though and has slammed her foot down and said absolutely not.
I'm not brave enough to ignore her

I did this with our dog 
In my defence I was not very mentally well at the time, but I said I wanted a dog, he said no, and I took the kids to see a puppy the next day who we later brought home.
He does love her now but doesn't get involved in her care. He does let her sit on his lap and snuggle though. She's smaller than most cats.
