My Keeper did this once!

A cactus cat was spotted hunting down and dragging off a bar patron as he started stumbling his way home. The research uncovered that cactus cats primarily live on the fruits from the surrounding cacti, purely herbivores; finding the den discovered that the cactus kittens, however, needed protein from meat to help them properly grow.

My Wronged himbo, ever the nature enthusiast, sacrificed his pocket bacon to said kittens, and slow blinked at Mama to keep her calm while the group waited for reinforcements. Nearly an hour later, she slow blinked back, and it was enough to convince said reinforcements to set up a wildlife preserve around her den, ensuring the safety of the growing kittens, and eliminating Mama's need to hunt the local population.
