On the most recent episode of the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, the Philadelphia Eagles center discussed his family’s potential addition of a cat. Jason stated that if they were to get a cat, it would need to be an outdoor cat, not a domesticated one. He expressed his appreciation for cats in nature as ferocious hunting animals, but clarified that he didn’t want a cat like a ragdoll or tabby. Travis explained that cats have different breeds, similar to dogs. Jason then asked about the issue of cats peeing in homes and expressed his dislike for the smell. Despite his wife Kylie’s request to get a cat, Jason remains unconvinced and uninterested in the idea.
Although Travis explained the purpose of cat litters to his older brother, Jason remained unconvinced about adding a third pet to his home, as he already had two Irish wolfhounds. Last week, Kylie joked on Instagram about getting a cat without Jason’s permission, using her husband’s famous catchphrase from the Chiefs-Bills game. Jason admitted that he was not fond of cats, but if he were to get one, it would have to stay outdoors most of the time. On Wednesday, Jason responded to Kylie’s post by expressing his desire to lose a cat and his surprise that there was no research on how to accidentally lose a cat. Kylie has been trying to persuade Jason to become a cat lover for weeks, and on a previous episode of New Heights, she and Travis discussed how they could work together to convince Jason to add a feline to his home.
