⚡ What Lookout does
Every 7 minutes 24 seconds at base weight, the Meerkat goes to another pet and keeps lookout, advancing that pet's cooldown by 20 seconds. Afterwards there's a 15% chance it does another lookout.
At base weight the numbers are modest, but this is one of the best-scaling pets in the game: almost everything about it keeps improving with weight.

| 50 kg | 3:44 | 45 s | 27.5% |

The cooldown drops 4.4 seconds per kilogram, all the way to a 15-second floor at about 98 kg. The advance grows 0.5 seconds per kilogram with no cap (70 seconds at 100 kg), and the repeat chance reaches 40% at 100 kg. A 100 kg Meerkat pushes a pet 70 seconds forward every 15 seconds, often twice.
