Consider yourself lucky ... she doesn't come over, and you don't have to deal with her. I wish some members of my family wouldn't come over because of my dogs!
However, I have to admit, I do not ever go to my SIL's house, because of her cats. (I would not, however, say as much as rudely as your aunt did.) It's not that I don't like her cats, they are nice cats. But she has a lot of them, and she isn't the best housekeeper, and consequently there is cat hair all over the furniture. I am very allergic to cats, and a visit to her house is not at all a good thing for me.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
