Are there wargames about cute animals?

Came across the Bunnies and Burrows ttrpg, and it made me wonder if there was a wargame equivalent. I mean, the Warriors series is still super popular, sk there's gotta be a cat-bases wargame somewhere!

Root! Cut throat war-ish game, and cute as hell.
- A wargame isn't any game that features war as a theme, it's a very specific genre of game where you move units around on a map simulating actual battles or wars. Think Warhammer as the most well-known example.
  
  Yeah, I'm specifically looking for a thing that will give me lots of minis I can paint with my fiancee, who isnt interested in faceless military dudes or ugly monsters or mechs but is perfectly down with role-playing realistic war in her D&D campaigns. Something in the vein of Watership Down or the Warriors series would be perfect.
  
  Now see, as a war gamer (ASL, GMT, Colombia games) I wouldn’t consider Warhammer a true “wargame”, but the definition has changed over the years. WotR and Root are considered “wargames” these days.
- Isn't root a boardgame
  
  Yes, there is also Ttrpg.
Bunny Kingdom!
Someone else said ROOT, that was my first thought.
Unstable unicorns, and it's spin off with llamas. Not really conquest games, but they battle in lore.
I sometimes like to play Animal Royale. It's a free to play battle royale available on steam and every console like Fortnite or PUBG, but 2D and top down. All the character skins are just cute animals.
Edit: Er... Not the kind if wargame you meant I think. But imma leave it.
- I think he might be asking about a tabletop wargame, rather than a video game wargame; the question was originally posted to !wargaming@lemmy.world, which deals with tabletop wargames rather than video game wargames. The crosspost kind of lost that context.

Check out Burrows and Badgers.
Still have nostalgic memories of Conker Live and Reloaded. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pVcJxp0jnzo
