Absolutely a geographic imposibility! While a meerkat occasionally will eat some plant material, they live in the Kalahari Desert of Africa and cacti only live in the deserts of the Americas. Meerkats are primarily insectivores but also feed on other small animals such as lizards, scorpions, snakes, etc.
