Hi Cassie,
I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner but I wanted to do some research first. When our purrents are "bizzy at work" it means their bosses give them a lot of work to do but not enough time to do it. Since the work must get finished, our purrents sometimes have to do "overtime" and that means they have to stay past the time they're supposed to go home. That could be why your Meowmie comes home when it's dark outside.

Does your Meowmie give you lovies and tell you how much she missed you when she gets home? It concerns me that she thinks you're complaining because you were left alone for so long when really you're telling her how much you missed her and how happy you are to see her. Try what I do when Meowmie and Soncat get home; meow a lot, rub up against them, and stay right next to them while they walk into the room. As soon as Meowmie sits down I jump right up to give her headbumpies and kisses then settle right in her lap purring the whole time. Then Meowmie pets me and tells me how wonderful and beautiful I am. It never fails!

Here's something else you can try. Stay with your Meowmie while she's getting ready for work. Sit on the big water fountain in the bathroom and talk to her while she irons her hair and brushes her teeth. I do this every morning and sometimes convince Meowmie to take a "sick of work day" so she'll stay home with me. (I'll call you on your cell phone to tell you how to do the "sick of work day" thing, it can't be posted where purrents can see it!)

I'll be contacting your Meowmie about this situation. Going to Cat Court is done only when everything else fails. At that point the only thing the Cat Court judge can do is sentence them to "Purrent Training".

Let's try to fix this without going to Cat Court. Be sure to keep me updated about what's going on. I'll be in touch.
