This is probably the most likely explanation. Since the writers have limited time, this was an easy way to show what Tygra perceived to be the defining moment that changed his relationship with his mother.

Plus, it makes their mom look REALLY callous. At least she had the good grace to look embarrassed about it. I hope in the episode there are more scenes of her later not totally ignoring Tygra, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Some of the writing so far hasn’t exactly inspired confidence. Better to prepare for the worst.

On an unrelated note, this has shown something I've always kind of wondered. In order to look the way they do, do the cats basically all only breed with the same cat clan? I ask because if Cheetara were to marry Lion-0, she's not a lion, so would they have spotted lion children? I always just assumed I was thinking too hard and they would never answer the question, but now, for I think the first time (correct me if I'm wrong) we've seen someone's mother, and as far as I can tell she is a lion (or a puma, hmm...), so it makes my old over-analysis relevant.

If the ThunderCats world is based on real life then lions and cheetahs would not be able to interbreed. The Panthera genus contains the 4 ‘Big’ cats – tiger, lion, leopard and jaguar. They can all interbreed.

However, the cheetah is a member of the genus Acinonyx. So neither a lion nor a tiger would be able to interbreed with a cheetah.

Not good news for both L/C and T/C shippers.
