Yeah, Catra was not letting go of the mop. And she was just opening her mouth to challenge Adora's assertion when she yanked her hand away, and then screeched about a mouse.
In Catra's defense, nobody has dared to pull something like this on her in a very. Very. Long time.
If only they could see as her ear jerked in the direction Adora pointed, straining to listen for the sound of tiny mouse claws for just a millisecond before her head follows through, widened eyes searching the floor. Nobody would ever take her seriously again. Her tail releases the mop immediately, damp fur fluffing in anticipation as the hair on her scalp rises, claws out and ready to strike--
"Where?" She demands, scanning the area. Her ears strain, but all she can hear is the trickle of water in pipes and the murmur of voices. "I don't hear anything--"
...
"Adora!" She can't believe she's been duped, and Catra whirls back to grab fistfuls of Adora's shirt, to yank her down to her height and shake her like doing so might dislodge the ridiculous memory. "Why do you still remember that?!"
