DH wants a cat, the rest of us don't

I realise I'm amongst cat lovers here, so I don't want to get off on the wrong foot! But there's an argument in our house about getting a cat. DH wants one, and has gone as far as getting a cat flap fitted, but neither me or the kids want one. We do all like cats, especially my youngest, but three of us just don't want one to come and live in our house for however long it would last. My eldest gave various reasons for this last night in a discussion with DH, but DH would not listen to them (as usual) and is determined to get one, despite it being three against one. "It's not a democracy, this issue," he says.......funny that he fervently defends democracy when it suits him....but that's another story.
Do we give in to him and get one and see how it goes, bearing in mind if it doesn't go well it will need rehoming and be disruptive to the cat? Or just say no?

Don’t get a cat. Dump the OH. Use the cat flap as a selling point when you list the house.

Stop procrastinating and start divorce proceedings op.
