My impression of {nbugh} and {ghIq} is that they are for establishing a sequence of events, not conditional and causal relationships.
wo’rIv HIv qIrq, ngugh qIrq DuQ wo’rIv — Kirk hit Worf at the same time Worf stabbed Kirk.
Sisko qIp Q, ghIq Q qIpqu’ Sisko — Q punched Sisko, then Sisko decked Q.
In the ancient cat example, the relationship is more causal: you bought the ancient cat because you are rich; or you bought the ancient cat while you were rich (but are no longer rich). It’s about the meaning behind the relationship between you being rich, and you buying the cat.
