Jason Kelce and Kylie KelceKylie Kelce has a few tricks up her sleeve when it comes to getting her next pet.
During the March 13 episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, the host, 32, revealed to her guest Kat Dennings how she plans to convince her husband, Jason Kelce, to allow a pet cat in their house.
"I am in a great debate with my husband about getting a cat," Kylie said during the podcast episode. "Our oldest daughter, just the other day, told Dad, 'We're going to buy a cat.' He was like, 'Kylie, did you tell her we're going to buy a cat?' I was like, 'I swear, I did not. It wasn't me.'"
Kylie then admitted that she had asked her daughter Wyatt, 5, if she "wanted to go to the ASPCA" to rescue a kitten. Kylie and Jason share three children — Wyatt, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2 — and are expecting their fourth daughter.
"That's where we always got our cats from [growing up]," Kylie explained. "My husband has told our daughters that cats are poisonous. He is desperate to not have a cat, which is hilarious … [because] he grew up with a cat, Flash, who he was forever impressed by [when] she would catch birds mid-air in the backyard, and it blew his mind."
She also laid out her backup plan during the podcast episode. "One day, I'm just going to take our kids to the local rescue, and I'm going to pick out a cat, and then I'm going to bring the cat home," she said. "I'm gonna full-commit [and adopt], then I'm going to make sure it's a day or two where he's not home, traveling."

However, the mom isn't shy about letting it be known that the feline is mostly for her benefit. During the Dec. 19 episode of the podcast, she explained to guest host Charissa Thompson of Thursday Night Football and Fox NFL Kickoff, "I hate to break it to you, but the kitten would not be for the girls. The kitten's for mom."
She added that her love of animals has been a lifelong passion that started when she was younger.

"When I came home from high school, instead of watching MTV or, I don't even know what the other cool channels were, I don't know what the other channels were because I wasn't watching them," she shared. "I was watching Nat Geo Wild and Animal Planet."

Kylie even had to figure out how to balance her love for animals with the constant demands of being a mom. "When I started having kids, I realized how much I have to really put an effort in to shift my focus onto my animals because my children take up a lot of my attention," she told Thompson. "And because of that, I am hyper-aware that it needs to be a very specific timing."
Of course, now it's not necessarily timing, but getting retired Philadelphia Eagle, Jason, to commit to the new addition with the rest of the family. "Believe it or not, I do love and respect my husband," she explained. "And if he doesn't want a cat right now, I don't necessarily wanna do it against his will. I do think there will come a time where we break him down."
