ouhh..... what if the scientists like, also released more prey into the forests or something and the cats became suspicious.... what would the scientists do if one of the clan cats specifically came to them for help for whatever reason?

You have to remember they are researchers. They are interacting with wild animals, and aren't trying to ruin their data with interference like that.

They don't give food gifts, flood the forest with animals (except when other conservation efforts overlap), or attempt to acclimate Clan cats to humans. This fear of people is considered a good thing; it would be very bad for cats to rely on humans or interact with hikers regularly.

(Even SkyClan can end up on thin ice with their willingness to steal and beg.)

So it's unlikely the Clan cats come up to ask for help and that is a positive. If it did happen, they may do the bare minimum (like when a shark asks a human to remove a fishhook), and then write it down in their notes.

But hikers are given a LOT of warnings, and even fined, for bothering the wildlife. Clan cats WILL hurt you if you grab them. You're encouraged to only walk and camp in marked areas.

The cats aren't the only reason for that either!

Sanctuary Lake boasts a sizeable boar population, a red deer herd, over a dozen species of protected songbirds, badgers, otters, foxes, and beavers were (indirectly) re-introduced.

Motor boats are also banned in the lake, to protect water quality. The water is so pure that it's able to host the endangered Freshwater Pearl Mussel, and probably has its own species of endemic fish.

So in a nutshell; no. The Clan cats are not messed with. Interaction is kept distant very purposefully.

#The most unrealistic part of what I mentioned is boar btw #Boar have only recently been reintroduced to the UK period. But I'm putting them in the same boat as the eagle population #Plus if I didn't include boar I'd have to keep foxes and badgers ridiculously unrealistic #As they are in canon #My partner self refers to britan as Tutorial Island lmao #The wildlife is SO gentle compared to america #The erins write foxes like coyotes #And badgers like tiny bears #And like NO LOL you're thinking of a HOG. You want a BOAR. #A BOAR ROARS #They don't go oink oink like cute piggies those things are horrifying #If you've ever heard the 'Stock Beast Roar' in any media ever? That was a boar. #Millie's radio collar
