Role
She appears in one scene where she is killed by the Hunter. Benji tries to comfort the dying animal, but is chased away by the Hunter, who then retrieves the dead cat and marches off with her draped over his shoulders.

He finds another mother cougar and spends most of the movie trying to introduce the orphans to the mother so she will adopt them.
