Jason Kelce is going to extreme lengths to prevent his family from getting a pet cat - and is using a tactic his brother Travis referred to as 'psycho.'

The former Eagles center shares three young daughters with his wife Kylie in four-year-old Wyatt, three-year-old Elliotte and one-year-old Bennett.

But as he told Travis on a new episode of 'New Heights', he's desperately trying to make sure his family doesn't add company in the form of a cat.


'You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is? I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous,' he began.

'Why the f**k would you tell them that?' Travis replied.

Jason then said that he wanted to make his daughters 'terrified' of cats, before adding, 'I think lying to your kids is important.'

But Travis identified a blind spot in his older brother's tactic.

'They're gonna over a friend's house and f*****g scream bloody murder because they see a cat,' he said

Jason then replied, 'Sounds like that person's house problem,' before his brother called him a 'psycho.'

Kelce, who retired after a stellar career with the Eagles earlier this year, has since had more time to spend with his family at home.

And he explained last month how his wife Kylie had implemented a new household rule.

Kelce shared on 'Green Light with Chris Long' that he has to 'work out a minimum of three days a week, otherwise she doesn't want to deal with me.'

'...When I've worked out, I am in a great mood, I interact well at home with my kids and everybody - I just am a better person,' he explained.

Kelce, who played most of his career at 295 pounds, also said at the time that he had dropped down to 276 pounds.

He's now embarking on a new challenge as a Monday Night Football analyst for ESPN.
