TIFU by texting my parents a cat video

So my mom’s (64F) birthday was 5 days ago, and I (20M) entirely forgot to wish her a happy birthday. I felt kind of bad, but we don’t have the greatest relationship and she’s forgotten my birthday plenty so I planned to just wait until she forgot and moved on.

Well, today is my cats birthday. I didn’t do anything big, but gave her some treats, all the cuddles she wanted after work, and refilled her favorite catnip toy with fresh nip, then also sprayed it down with catnip spray and let her go to town

Well the video of her playing with her catnip toy was very cute and I was sending it to my friends and absentmindedly sent it to my parents too with an explanation that it was her birthday

My mom responded super dismissively and is texting me that she’s disappointed in care more about a cat than her. So yeah, TIFU by sending my mom a video of my cat.

TL;DR I forgot my moms birthday then sent her a video celebrating my cats birthday instead
