Jason Kelce is adamant about not getting a cat!
On the latest episode of the New Heights with Travis and Jason Kelce podcast, the Philadelphia Eagles center responded to his wife Kylie Kelce’s comment about bringing one home against his wishes.
Last week, she wrote under a clip on the podcast’s Instagram account: “‘I’m not asking for permission, I’m doing this.’ – the exact quote I will say when I’m grabbing the keys to go get a cat.”
On Wednesday, Jason responded by saying, “Ky tweeted this or Instagrammed this and immediately, I googled ‘how to lose a cat.’ ”

“Nothing came up. The only thing that came up was like, ‘Oh, are you sad you just lost a cat?’ ” he continued before jokingly adding, “Like, no, I need to lose a cat. I’m not worried about losing it. I want to lose it, and I’m surprised that there was nowhere to research good ways to accidentally lose a cat.”
Jason shared that “if a cat does show up” at his home, the feline “will find its way off our properties in some way.” However, his brother Travis Kelce reminded the Eagles star that he previously mentioned that he “appreciated” an outdoor cat.
“I do. I do, but I feel like… knowing Kylie, it’s gonna find its way indoors,” Jason said. “If we can set those boundaries — but I feel like it’s not going to happen. It’s going to find its way in the house.”

“The kids are gonna want it up in their bedroom,” he continued. “There’s gonna be cat stuff all over the place… I just remember going in certain guys’ houses growing up that had cats and you would smell that… urine smell? And I’m out.”
Travis joked that if Jason gets a cat, their podcast listeners should get to name it, and suggested that they submit their best cat names to enter into a “bracket.” Jason, however, was not amused, saying, “We’re not playing this game!”
“Listen, if you are okay with a cat getting lost after you’ve already named it, go ahead and participate,” he continued. “This thing is not making it far.”
Jason also admitted earlier in the episode that after Kylie’s message, several podcast listeners messaged him about different breeds of cats he should consider, including a “ragdoll” cat, which “cuddles up next to you” and is similar to a dog. Another breed that was suggested was a tabby cat.
Kylie has been trying to convince her husband to get a cat for weeks. On a previous episode of New Heights in December, Kylie and Travis even discussed how they could work together to get Jason on board with adding a feline to his family.
“No, here’s the deal, I told Jason that I want to get a cat. And he told me no. And I feel like you might like cats now,” she said, hinting to Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift’s love of cats. The pop star famously has three cats that she cares for — Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
