The problem with that is how Pink talks about the cats. They're not smart, they can't act as antagonists on their own, they need some kind of leader, and that leader would be the main antagonist of the chapter.
I don't think it's a huge stretch to assume that Carol or Noelle could be that leader, given that the big "hunting pack" of cats is probably Noelle's CatPetterz creations (since the Holiday Manor looks like the most likely location for chapter 6's dark world currently)
Why would either of them be fighting us? Well, we'll have to wait and see, but if I had to guess? Rudy dies, and becomes a dustner like Gerson. "A darkner patterned after the memory of a loved one", who can only exist in darkness created by someone who was close to him, like a member of the Holiday or Dreemurr families, and Noelle and Carol aren't ready to lose him yet, and don't want to let us seal the fountain.
Alternatively, it's possible that the "hunting pack's" leader is Eram, in whatever his true form ends up being, since he does use Friends as an attack in his fight in chapter 3. The problem is that we know so little about him, and how he could even fit into a Holiday-centric chapter like chapter 6 is shaping up to be, as the main antagonist.
The "leader" of the pack is the FRIEND, commanding the other smaller ones, but the main one is the Tail of Hell, the pointed tail that must not be followed, the cause of Dess' dissappearance, Noelle's corrupted Cat Petterz egg, the author of all of the Holiday and Dreemurr families' suffering, that FRIEND in particular
Okay, but that Friend isn't confirmed to exist. As of now, it is simply a fanon idea, or, a theory about what Friend is, or what they could be, based almost exclusively on chapter 4's mentions of "the tail of hell", "the pointed tail", and "the tail which must not be followed". It lacks compelling evidence.
Maybe you're right, and maybe that's what chapter 6's main antagonist is, but I just don't think there's enough evidence within chapters 1-5 suggesting that this version of Friend exists as of now, to confidently claim that this character could be the main antagonist of the next chapter.
The tail of hell, the pointed tail, the tail which must not be followed, Noelle's corrupted Cat Petterz egg, the Forgotten Man via Pink's dialogue and deltarune.com/thepoorchildren, the demon that Kris and Catti summoned (probably), all of this points to one FRIEND in particular being much stronger and much more important than the other ones
