You can't get scabies from your pet, they carry a different type of scabies. For a list of zoonotic diseases (things you can get from your pet), see here: http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/zoonotic/ or http://animalpetdoctor.homestead.com/Zoonotics.html

very rarely people get infected from cats.
the animals that most cause human being to get sick is other human beings.
my guess will be your got it from someone who was near her and had it, doesn't have to be someone she knows, can be just some random person on the street.
hope your mom will get batter soon, and you did good not to listen to your cousin he obviously have no idea what his talking about.
