It was a nice scene this.
The group got split into two, and Flower was stuck with the pups and only a few others down a burrow with the Commando's ready to kill.
Cue SuperKat... Zaphod, standing on a hill.
The Command's charged him, not knowing he had Mitch and the rest just behind him. And then a huge fight starts. Ending with a death, (not one of the Whiskers though).
Flower and the pups come up from the burrow later in the day (unaware that it was Zaphod and the others who saved them).
Although they do make you think that it was Zaphod who died, was heart wrenching when they showed the big adult mearkat dead in the sand, and not telling who it was.
Until big Zaph and Mitch came strolling back when all the rest were at the burrow

So fear not, no-one from the Whiskers dies in that ep
