How to start rebuilding? - 2

[Hoju]

I have a question about how to ask for something. During our separation talks W mentioned I would be able to have one of the cats. This was really hard for her as we both love them very much. I haven't pushed for the cat while the house was up for sale and we had staging furniture in the house. Now that everything has settled how do I go about asking for the cat?

I don't want to piss W off or hurt her by taking it away but I love them and have taken care of them since they were kittens.
