So ever since I got my first cat(my 2 year old black and white male) as a young adult my mother-in-law has been criticizing on how I take care of him. When she would come to visit she would often be there around meal time and would be disgusted by the fact that I timed fed him wet food. She has something against feeding cats wet food and timed feeding him. She would like a broken record tell me she only feed her cats this particular brand of dry food and free feeds them all day.
She would also criticize me on how I dont let my cats outside(I live in a busy city and she lives in the country, completely different environments). She has on several occasions tried to force hold my first cat, who only likes to be held when it is his idea. He of course didnt like her force holding him and make it clear to her ever since that she better stay away from him(he doesn't like her at all and hisses at her). She blamed the fact that he didnt like her on me because I didnt try to forcefully hold him and just bonded with him in ways he preferred.
She also has said on several occasions that I should take care of cats her way and that I would just have to get use to it. I refused to and now she is holding a grudge against me. I am doing something wrong here?
