My mom has been anti-pets and especially anti-cats my whole life. When I told her I adopted a cat, the first thing she said was "I hope it's not a black cat." (It was.)
We bring him with us when we visit her because he travels well and gets sad being home by himself.
Fast forward a couple years, we need a cat sitter for 2 weeks. I propose bringing my cat to my mom so she can watch him. She proceeds to buy him toys and treats (of her own volition) and plays with him every night and lets him sleep at the foot of her bed.
