Today, my mum sat me down for a serious talk about not being home enough - not because she misses me, but because the family cat needs more stability in her life. FML

You stepping out on the cat? Were you seeing other cats all night again? You made a damn commitment!

If it's your cat and not hers then she may be right. If I'm gone to often my cat will knock down my curtains as payback. Some pets need more attention than others.

The OP clearly stated "family cat". OP is not the sole owner of the pet.

I'm not home a lot and it pains me when I think that I'm neglecting my cat. Sometimes I'll have her spend the weekend at my parents (they love her). However, she's old and fat and doesn't seem to care lol. We cuddle when I'm here and I spoil her.

Why are people taking this conversation at face value? Sounds like mum misses her darling child but can't admit it.

Just walk out if you really want to, don't let a cat hold you down

the cat has more value then yours then.

Well you have got to make time for what's really important in your life ... Like your cat

It's an understandable concern. First, instability at home, then, catnip addiction to fill the void. Starts off as fabric mice and just escalates. You don't even know.
