The only reason we need to protect the cats is that they're on our team, if they weren't then the danger to them would be much less.
If we weren't in the picture, they'd be able to join the team of a different god, which to be frank would probably be Grind because that's where their other friend already is, this would make the grind-alliance's forces much greater than their opposition's, which doesn't mean they'd definitely win but give them a much greater chance than they have under us.
After this they might enter the fighting on behalf of someone else and we couldn't stop it, but that's also likely to happen if we continue to personally protect them anyway.
If we're going to stay alive, which we should for the meta reason of "it would be a shit way to end the story" if nothing else, then we should justify our existence.
We can make things better, so we should. We should care about the well being of all of the cats, not just the ones that happen to be ones we made.
Averting any cat from being harmed through avoidable conflict is very difficult to the point of probably being impossible, undermining the authority of the other gods who would intentionally send them to die and harm others in battle for reasons that do not materially affect the cats at all by using our cats as diplomats is a real moon shot plan, but it serves a means good enough to justify our existence.
If they got themselves in danger trying to do the right thing after we were gone then frankly, I'd count that as a success.
What's the point of us otherwise?
