More Thoughts on the Thundercats

Food
So far, through these first few episodes, you know that they have rations and at one point Lion-O eats fruit from a tree.  Obviously, they don't want to show animals being killed in a cartoon for kids, but you kinda get the impression that the Thundercats are vegetarians.  For instance Lion-O and Snarf stop these pirates from capturing a unicorn for food.  Didn't they think, it must taste good if these pirates are going to all this trouble to get one?  In the same episode, some fish get caught in the Thundertank, but Panthro makes an opening and the fish are able to escape.  Aww.  If they were really cat-like, wouldn't they be excited at the thought of a fish?  Heathcliff (the cat) would've stopped right there and eaten them all I think.  On a similar note, does Mumm-Ra need to eat or do the evil spirits provide all that for him?

Housing
So the Thundercats make this enormous panther shaped palace called the Cat's Lair.  Now, there are only six of them.  A little excessive don't you think?  The Ro-Bear Berbils (they're like robotic ewoks) helped them make the whole thing and I'd be pissed if I was one of them, especially since it's not like they had a crane or any other big machinery.

A New Empire
In the first episode, Lion-O declares that they're going to form a new empire.  To me, I feel like that'd be a little difficult.  There's only six of them, and only one of those is an adult female.  Don't you think they should get started on populating this empire?  Would Cheetara not be able to run as fast if she were pregnant?
