Post main story gameplay?

So Im done with the main story and incredibly happy with it, it was a very nice story with a great ending but now I cant help but feel lost.

First of all, why do voidling cats still attack if I spared the wildwood champion (it was said at some point that voidling cats are like the creation of the champion's misery or something. is he still depressed or something. why is he still attacking me on the borders.)

Also... What do I do now? Im married and I have kits and maxed out all of the relationships except for kittens (mine and others). I could max out the relationship with my kittens and kittens of other marriages but for some reason I dont feel as motivated to do so... From what I understand they dont really grow up or have any cut scenes, correct me if Im wrong.
The only kit I havent seen yet is the one Alabster and Fliss are supposed to have, I think? Every other marriage already had kits.

I feel like Ive seen all of the cutscenes there are bc none have triggered in the past, like, half a year or so.

I know there are mines, I only finished the first mine and reached lvl 25 of the second one but Im not sure if its worth it. Its not that interesting imo to just grind through the levels (although I will admit it is much more fun than first cattails game mines).

I know I can continue to hunt and gather and get every construction done and find all the power paws and stuff but for some reason after finishing the main quest it feels like an arbitrary goal, like, theres no point to do that anymore...

So my questions is, those who have got to post main quest game, is there much else to do?

TLDR Why do voidlings still attack me after finishing main quest?
Is it worth maxing out the relationships with kittens (mine and others)?
Is it worth maxing out buddy lvl with your kittens?
Should I stick around to see Fliss and Alabaster's kittens?
Is there any point in going through the mines (after finishing the first mine), is there anything interesting there that I would miss?
Why should I keep playing after finishing the main quest?

Maxing out the buddy lvl of at least one kitten will allow you to use the New Game+ Portal in the Temple where you start a new save as said kitten. Your kitten's NPC parent will remember they are related to you and certain achievements you gained, the type of buddy skills your kitten had, cats you recruited, as well as mews you've earned will affect your New Game+ save. All relationships reset (which do mean the Rival Marriages aren't a thing anymore meaning no new kittens).

Also all power paws you gained through your prior breakthroughs carry over. Meaning getting the power paws in Mine 2 and 3 could benefit for an easier beginning to your game in the New Game+

I've started doing a series where I marry a new cat with each "generation" of kitten, starting out with a highly unrealistic coat with parent 1 and going through each romance with a new kitten, which changes the coat color and design as time goes on. I'm on generation 3 and I'm already a lot different than gen 1!

Also there are technically 2 secret romance options. One being the Forest Guardian (which most people know of) but there is another and I'm sure if you finished the game you can guess what that is. And you can have kittens with both these options.

So maybe don't 100% the game on this save but complete more in the next or something!
