I'm not sure what the story is about the other cats but the Stalkers were the first to attack, so my 57 mage ended up killing 4 of them and the fourth one dropped Shy's lunch.
I killed a few of the others around the "altar" and then (following the instructions above) pulled her away from the altar to the other end of the frozen pond. She feared me twice, which was annoying but not fatal; I basically just kept hitting her with short shots (Fire Blast & Arcane Explosion) so I wouldn't have a longer spell interrupted by fear. Not exactly mana-efficient but it worked. Except for the fear, she didn't seem to have any other tricks.
Never saw her mate, so I believe the strategy of kiting her from the altar probably works.
Serious XP. 11,500 or in that neighborhood. Not hard and worth doing. The toughest part was dealing with the stealthed Stalkers on the way in. Human "Perception," by the way, was useless. It didn't spot a single stalker.
