supercatmeta:

It’s pretty transparent how Kara and Cat’s dynamic has always been heavily paralleled to the Clark and Lois’ one.
Well, every time Cat is shown interacting with Clark she tends to overplay her attraction to him, and this somehow doesn’t break the Supercat/Clois parallel, it makes it stronger. We are finally allowed to see Cat attracted to a younger Kryptonian superhero/reporter, she finally allows herself to show that, but she makes it about someone else and, this way, she sends a message – to herself, to Kara – without really taking any risk, without messing with the balance they have built. She hides behind her attraction to Clark and, at the same time, she rubs it in Kara’s face, waiting for something – a recognition of what’s behind? Jealousy? 

Not a coincidence that all her compliments to Clark could apply to Kara, too.

We already had one example in the season premiere, and now we have Cat talking about big, light-colored eyes and a true nature beyond someone’s glasses.

In this same episode, we receive confirmation that Cat knows Kara is Supergirl; she has probably been knowing since the balcony scene. But then, it’s not believable that Cat made this very specific comment to Kara without thinking – without wanting Kara to think – about their moment, about the one moment when she got a chance to see her favorite superhero taking off her glasses and to see the tiger behind it.
