No she's not scared of cats... notice how she hasn't said a thing about Scratch.
This is more about power and control.

So would I!
Heather you must be kidding???? OH MY, would my MIL have words.........
I think I would have to bite my tougue and put my hands in my pocket to keep from doing or saying something to her just for the hubby's sake I have a very bad temper at times and that would just bring it out.

Getting angry at her doesn't seem to work. I tend to block her out and do my own thing. If she gets upset I see it as more her problem than mine.
By the sounds of her personality it seems to me that 8-Bit has good reason to not like her. She doesn't sound like a very likable person if that's how she treats family or people in general who have extended her an invitation to dinner.
My response would be 'my cat lives here, you don't' but then I'm not known for my tact or diplomacy. I do go to lengths when my brother comes over but for slightly different reasons - he loves all animals but is horribly allergic to cats, they affect his breathing really badly!
No seriously, if someone said that I had to cage my cat when they came round, I would say well don't come round then - or maybe - ok what time shall I arrive at YOUR house? I would quite happily say it to Nate's mum also, but he'd probably beat me to it anyway.

I'm sorry she is such a pain in the butt!!! I wouldn't put him in a cage though.The bedroom is enough and that alone will cause him some distress.Being caged, would only make it much worse on him and you too!
I would put what I thought, but since this is a family site I can't.
I'll just say this. My father is very allergic to cats. They cause him to have asthma attacks. But when they came over for our housewarming party, he never said one word. In fact, Ginger was quite fond of him and his wife.
And they paid plenty of attention to her (of course, Dad would only do that when he thought I wasn't looking
) He would never ask me to even put them out of sight for his convenience, even though it does directly affect his health.
We all know that 8-Bit has a tendency to do things we never thought possible
but as far as I know, the laws of physics still do apply to him. He can't go through walls or closed doors, so there is no way possible that he can grab her food while being shut in the bedroom.
I wouldn't be disappointed if she didn't come over either, if I were you!

Yeah that rings true with what my brother does - as mentioned before he's really badly allergic to cats but he'll come and stand in the hallway and say hello to Radar at a distance rather than ask me to move the cat!
Heather, I think during dinner you should let him out accidentally and get the CAMERA ready. You could win money on America's funniest home videos!

Actually, I think that is sad that your MIL behaves in this manner. My MIL has a strong dislike for my cats but I just said they are you grandbabies and they deserve to be treated with respect....boy does she think I'm crazy now
SHutting a cat in a room IS caging, it's just a larger cage then she had in mind
You need to have a good sit down talk wit6h this woman and tell her that this is your BABY!!
And then, sneek over, let 8-Bit out, and get her all crazy about him!! No, just kidding!!!

Wow, what a heifer! I hope 8-bit sneaks out and bites her toes!

She called and said she wasn't coming because we wouldn't do what she asked. I can tell she really wanted me to argue with her, but I just let it roll off my back. I won't let her try to control what happens in MY house. She'll just have to learn to live with it.
Wow, she's not a very nice woman is she? I'd definately be a little mad if my future MIL asked to do that!
