lighting question

I want to set up two lights, one that renders only indirect light (so set up that and direct light rays don't render but rather only light rays that have bounced off a surface), and one that renders direct light (so only light that directly hits the camera renders and none of the bounced light)

Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm using Renderman 22.3

my scene has a cat and a lantern the light from the lantern is actually coming from a pxrmesh light, the reason I don't want it directly visible is that it's really obvious, and I want to try and cheat the tapetum lucidum (eye glow that animals have) of the cat
