There are multiple slugcat species, and the slugcats we play give us a glimpse into the lives of each.
Survivor, Monk, and Gourmand are all part of the same species. All of them could eat larger meat but Gourmand was the only one strong enough to bite through critters w/o tool use. Survivor and Monk didn't want to spend too much time when they could be moving while they were on their journeys to find each other so they just decided not to cut any meat.
Hunter and Artificer are also part of the same species, whose primary diet is obviously large prey. Artificer's ancestors gained a symbiotic relationship with a type of bacteria and it passed down to them. It did to their own kids too, but y'know...
Rivulet is part of an amphibious species. They can breathe underwater unlike in the game because why not. They're similar to Surv and Monk in the way they could eat larger stuff if they cut it but they just don't because of time.
Saint is part of a more arboreal species. They don't eat meat of any kind, big or small, due to religious reasons (I'm the same person who sent that one ask a while ago lol). Their frail ass probably couldn't cut any out even if they wanted to. They do eat things that haven't hatched yet however like blue fruit (bug pupas), and eggbug eggs.
Spearmaster is obvs engineered, so they aren't part of any one species. I think their base species was Survivor's though considering their smallness.
I'll wait til Watcher comes out to add them to any species!!

A quick little general slugcat headcanon (featuring a not-so quick drawing to go with it)!
Slugpups have a habit of riding on their parents' tails, kinda like how human kids sometimes cling to their parents' legs! However, for slugcats it's not just for fun, but actually a somewhat instinctive behavior that provides some utility in allowing the parents to carry their kids around more easily when they're small and can't keep up as well on their own. Since slugcats naturally drag their tails — the tail's inherent thickness and large fat stores make it too heavy to lift off the ground all the time — it doesn't really hurt or hinder the parents' movement much, and so is generally pretty efficient when traveling with pups, especially for couples with larger or multiple litters to care for.
Besides that, young slugpups may ride on their parents' backs (usually with the parent walking on all fours in this case), sitting on their shoulders, or just straight-up being carried in their arms, though the final is generally the most difficult option. Once they're big enough they usually walk beside, holding one parent's hand until they're trusted to not stray too far.
Honestly this whole headcanon is pretty much just an extension of this from Survivor/Monk intro:
