For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.One of my cats is the fastest thing i think ive ever seen! She could beat anyone or anything, especially at chase the laser game!
But her son, who is 9 months, is the slowest dopiest cat going! he gets halfway through playing or attacking something (normally a foot) and keels over sideways and just sleeps! Hes still a kitten but he just sleeps none stop!
So i suppose it depends what your cat is like :)

I don't think so. Your mother would be running at say 7mph.
A cat could probably sprint at 20mph for 5 second but in a realistic situation, to keep up with your mother the cat must run at 14mph for one minute (which I doubt it could) but would only be able to rest for one minute to recover before your mother catches up with it. I really think that after a couple of those 2 minute stints the cat would become very distressed and be unable to continue.
A cat is just not designed to run for a great distance.
