My mother will not even come to my house because the though of having a cat in the house freaks her out. When we got Natasha, which was cat number 3 in the house at the time, my mother told me that my house would stink and that the nasy kitten would get on the counter and blah, blah, blah. She said the same thing about the ferrets. But she has five dogs and thats okay. Go figure.

Anyways, I just ignore her, and take it as a blessing that she doesn't come to my house.

Don't listen to anyone else because you are the one who takes care of the cats and quite fankly, it's none of their bussiness.
