Natalie Terry, 28, had been jailed for 18 months for the abuse.
The youngster spent five days inside the house alone, surviving only on water, yoghurt and potato chips before she eventually knocked on a neibour's door to ask for help, saying 'my Mum has left me for five days and she has not come back'.
Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported that police found cat faeces in virtually every room.
Maidstone Crown Court heard that when police interviewed Terry before she was arrested, she simply said: ‘I neglected my daughter . . . end of.’
Terry admitted child cruelty charges. The court was told she tried to get home before her daughter woke up after working through the night at a shop, the Daily Mail reported.
She did not explain where she had been for the five days.
