Cueball of XKCD decides that after eternity, he wants a pet that he doesn't have to move rocks to take care of it or even live. By some twisted miracle, a Domestic Cat is created & brought into the rock simulation, as capable of interacting with the rocks & Cueball that operate the simulation as Cueball is. Yay, pet cat!
Unfortunately, there's no way out of the rock simulation, & the cat is an ordinary one, who, unlike Cueball, was cursed with the "abilities" of hunger & thirst, & there's nothing to eat except Cueball.
The cat starts perfectly healthy, but with nothing in its stomach other than what would be normally present according to its biology.
Cueball gets no prep time other than what his own observations of the cat cause him to have; Assume he doesn't suspect its hunger or thirst -since he never had any himself here- until the cat's behaviour causes him to suspect it.
Combat begins when the cat decides it wants to consume Cueball or when Cueball decides to begin combat. By sheer coincidence, they start 5 meters away, regardless of how it begins.
Hopefully this is fair.
