Jason Kelce Thinks This Moment With Taylor Swift's Cats Will Be "Hilarious"

Jason Kelce is more than happy for a specific cat-tastrophe to occur.
To avoid bringing a new kitty into the household, the former Philadelphia Eagles player has been telling his and wife Kylie Kelce's daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 18 months, that cats are poisonous.
And while he knows it's not true, he noted it's his "latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat" on the Sep. 4 of his New Heights podcast with brother Travis Kelce.
Travis was aghast by Jason's tactic, saying, "They're going to go over a friend's house and f--kin' scream bloody murder 'cause they see a cat."
And as one user on X pointed out, this will likely happen sooner rather than later as Travis' girlfriend Taylor Swift is famous for her feline friends: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
"And what is jason's plan when they meet auntie taytay's cats?" the user wrote, to which Jason replied, "It's gonna be hilarious."
Another fan even tried to get Jason on the cat-train, writing, "Since Jason Kelce is on Swiftie Twitter here's a reason his girls need cats. Cat purrs help heal bones and promote good bone density. #notpoisonous."
But the 36-year-old wasn't having it, responding, "This is the biggest load of Cat Pseudoscience I've ever heard! You can't tell me you actually believe this."
And while he's not quite sure what his big beef with cats is—especially as Travis pointed out on their podcast that the two grew up with them—Jason is very sure he doesn't want one.
He added, "There's something about cats I don't like."
And Jason sees no problem with making his girls scared of the animals, joking, "I think lying to your kids is important."
"I'm like, 'Listen, if you have a cat, the government will come and take it from you because they're so lethal,'" he told his children. "‘I mean, they can kill you. They don't even have to bite you, just them licking you—you feel their tongue has little needles on it.'"
Travis truly couldn't believe what he was hearing, telling his big bro, "You're a psycho."
And while Jason might not be promoting Taylor's love of cats to his kids, he is all about them listening to the Grammy winner's music. In fact, he recently revealed that he and his daughters have been rocking out to The Tortured Poets Department, and that Elliotte is especially fond of the track "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart."
"Ellie right now, there's a line in that, 'I'm a real tough kid / I can handle my s--t.' And Ellie's 3 years old," he explained on the Pivot Podcast Sep. 3, "and she says, 'I'm a tough kid / I can handle my stuff.'"

After a not-so-smooth first date, Jaso Kelce and Kylie Kelce would hit off when they went out again, with the two making their relationship Instagram official in November 2015.
After tying the knot in 2018, Kylie reflected on celebrating the wins in life alongside her now-husband.
"This off-season was my favorite yet," she wrote in a social media post that July. "It was short but oh so sweet. I am so incredibly proud to call this man my husband, and I can’t wait to watch his hard work and dedication through another season."
By October 2019, the couple expanded their family, welcoming baby Wyatt into the world.
Two years later, their second daughter Elliotte, joined her big sister.
Just one year later, Kylie shared that "another Kelce lady" would be added to the bunch with an adorable set of photos.
In February 2023, the couple welcomed their third child, with her arrival coming nearly two weeks after Jason faced off against brother Travis Kelce at the 2023 Super Bowl.
The NFL star shared a glimpse at his oldest daughters holding a huge prize in May 2023, writing on Instagram, "Never in a million years did I think I’d hold the Larry O’Brien trophy, let alone that it would be in my house!! Unbelievable honor to see it in person. The size is incredible, looks so small when NBA players are holding it, but it’s actually massive!! The girls were very interested in it."
The couple shared a look at the family of five while on the field that August, joking in a joint Instagram post, "Here for the Rita’s and obstacle courses with dad after practice."
The family rang in Wyatt's fourth birthday in October 2023 on the Philadelphia Eagles' home turf, with Kylie quipping on Instagram, "We were celebrating a 4th birthday when the Birds went 4-0."
Kylie shared this pic of her and Jason's daughters Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett on Instagram in June 2024, writing, "Parents know… 2 out of 3 isn’t bad!"
Jason and brother Travis Kelce's mom Donna Kelce commented, "The cutest beautiful bunch of 'lucky charms' under that rainbow!!!!
