"I would much rather shoot myself in the leg than have to deal with her incessant neediness"
When you have pets at home, traveling always demands more planning and preparation. Many cat owners choose to leave their pets at home when they go on vacation in order to spare both themselves the burden of taking care of their pet and the cat the stress of traveling and acclimating to new places.
While leaving a cat behind can be easier for cat owners than for dog or other pet owners, your cat still needs careful planning and consideration of their requirements while you'll be gone. If your home is safe and secure, you may usually leave your cat there without worrying.
Finding someone to check on your cat on a regular basis is difficult when you keep your cat at home; this is not a concern if you board your pet. Talking about boarding, it isn't necessary if there's no need for it right?
Well, not for the OP's future mother-in-law, who demanded she board her cats so she could spend a few days in their house. The OP has two main dogs, one foster dog, and two cats.
Apparently, OP's future MIL has cat allergies and offered to pay for the cats' boarding so she could come over with her two dogs, who both have ridiculously high prey drives. The OP wouldn't allow it, and luckily, her partner supported her too.

Our cats and dogs get along due to months of training and slow introductions. Our cats are fairly dog savvy, but it definitely depends on the dog's attitude and prey drive as well. We've had to turn away fosters who are known for chasing small animals. I'd rather not be stressed out about my cats when she's visiting. TBH if I could spend the say hiding under my bed like my cats when people are around, I would.
Some redditors mentioned that even if the cats were to be boarded, they would come home to a place that would still smell like foreign dogs, and this would stress them out. So they won't just be stressed out while brought boarded at the kennel, but they'll also go through further trauma when they get home, where they are supposed to feel safe, and that's just wrong.
