Oh no. The cat will get attached and stay at your house. Eventually, your mom will know someone's been giving it attention because it will continue to hang around. Plus, he could have a disease or something or he could attack you. You never know with strays. Hope I helped!

Unless you intend on adopting this cat and turning him into your house pet, bringing him to a vet and feeding him everyday for the rest of his sweet little life, then NO. No, you should not bring him in.
A wild cat can be a wild cat, and is smart enough to sleep some place safe and warm. If he is sleeping by your window, that means it's a smart place for him to be and you should let him do that.
Unless you intend on becoming responsible for this cat as a good and sensible pet-owner, you shouldn't interfere.
If this really bothers you, go back to your mother and argue for letting the cat in ONCE, and then bringing it to the animal shelter the next day, where it can be treated by a vet, cared for by kind volunteers and adopted by someone who loves it. I bet if you made a reasonable plan where the cat would be with you for only one night, in a box or a carrying case borrowed from a friend, and then brought to an animal shelter, your mother would be more open to listening to you.
Doing the right thing means making a workable and smart plan for the cat, not just doing the thing that makes you feel less guilty for a night.
