Girl, 10, makes 'Apprentice pitch' for pet catpublished at 13:27 British Summer Time 12 October 2020
BBC Radio NottinghamA 10-year-old girl wants a pet cat so badly that she has made a digital presentation to her parents.
Olivia, from Beeston, tracked down hypoallergenic cats up for adoption and outlined her favourite ones on a series of slides to show to her dad, who is allergic to cat fur.
Image source, SuppliedOlivia told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I made a Powerpoint for them with pictures of cats, why I wanted one and I put links to websites where you could adopt them.
"They said 'maybe' but they were a bit surprised."
Image source, Getty ImagesHer dad Scott said: "This is the next level. Years ago your kids would leave notes around the house but now you get a full-on, Apprentice-style pitch.
"I'm allergic to cats, this is the stumbling block, but she's found hypoallergenic ones and she's researched them. Every angle is covered."
He said the final decision on whether Olivia will get her pet has not been made yet but she has been allowed to go a nearby cat cafe.

This is up from 425 confirmed cases a week ago.
Just over a third, 523, are residents in university halls, while 677 live in private properties and 310 are based in "purpose-built student accommodation".
As well as the students, 20 staff have also tested positive.

She said students were encouraged to "stop mixing outside of their households and to stay on campus or in their homes" this weekend and additional staff were brought in to "explain and enforce these new changes".
"Although the majority of our students are doing the right thing, under our student Code of Conduct there are serious consequences for any students who do not obey the rules, including disciplinary action, fines and campus sanctions – in addition to police fines," the spokeswoman said.

Badger cull banned by Derbyshire councilpublished at 12:11 British Summer Time 12 October 2020

BBC NewsDerbyshire Dales District Council has voted to ban badger culling on its land.
Last month the government announced it was extending its culling programme to 11 new areas, including Derbyshire, as part of efforts to eradicate bovine TB.
However, the council voted by 16 votes to nine - with eight abstentions - to not allow badgers to be killed on land it owns.
Culling will still be able to take place in other parts of Derbyshire.
Image source, PA MediaThe authority plans to support its stance by adding extra signage to make clear which land it owns.
Hathersage and Eyam councillor Claire Raw, who brought the motion, said vaccination was a more effective way of dealing with bovine TB.
The government has said it is using culling, vaccination and testing to eradicate the disease.
