My significant other chased the deer away, and is trying to convince me the
cat was protecting the bonsai.

Could be. Cats are very possessive and territorial. Does your cat ever rub
her face up against any of your trees? This is a cat's way of marking her
possessions with a scent we don't smell: my owner, my house, my friend, etc. She may
have been protecting the house & property.
Busta the Lab is definitely Kasi the cat's dog. They kiss & lick each other
several times a day. Last year we kept another dog for a few months for a
neighbor who had a fire. A couple of times he violated dog etiquette & Busta
growled at him. Kasi, who has a slight hearing problem, heard this from two rooms
away, & came tearing in ready to attack the dog she perceived as threatening HER
Busta.
