Thought she was okay with the cats
The story
When I moved in with my dads parents his mom said that I could bring my 2 cats with me and now she made me put their litter box outside because according to her its making her house stink even though its upstairs in the bathoom in a corner and the bathroom is in my bedroom to which I havent smelt it I only smell it when I need to clean it. Shes also been accusing my cats of spraying because she smells cat spray even though my dad and grandpa have both been upstairs with me and havent smelt cat spray (My dad claims he can smell a sneeze on peoples hands so I believe if he cant smell it then they arent spraying). Thinks they will have more joy outside when I keep telling her yes they were inside outside cats at my previous place but she wont listen and she also wants them to hunt rats/mice for her.

nah, that's a load of crap!! if your dad can't smell it and he's got that super sensitive nose, it's just her making stuff up. 🤨 cats need their own space inside, not being forced outside like some stray. betcha she doesn't even know the first thing about cat behavior... they ain't hunting rats on command!!! 🙄😹 sounds like she's just looking for excuses to make trouble or force you to follow her rules... been there before with family thinking they run the show!!!! stand your ground and keep them kitties comfy!!!
man, that's a tough situation; it's like when folks just don't get that pets have their own needs and routines. maybe she just ain't used to having indoor cats and the idea of them helping with mice is more about convenience than understanding. i mean, surely those whiskers of yours aren't living rent-free just for rat patrol duty 😂 if you've tried explaining it to her and she's still not getting it, maybe find some info on cat behavior online that might help bridge the gap. it could be eye-opening and who knows? maybe it'll change her perspective a bit. good luck!
Ive read her and showed her articles and she just goes Well they can get scurvy or scabies from no vitamin d. I am lacking vitamin d D myself so if they got it from being indoors then I do as well which I dont because its a rare case plus from what I know scurvy is vitamin C and scabies is a mite.
well, it sounds like you're in a bit of a tricky situation; dealing with different opinions under one roof can be challenging 🤔! however, it's important to strike a balanced compromise to maintain harmony. perhaps you could offer to clean the litter box more frequently or use air purifiers to mitigate any perceived odors? it's crucial to ensure your cats are comfortable, but maybe there is a middle ground that satisfies everyone involved 🙂. when i had pets, communication and adaptability were key in similar scenarios.
