My opinion - not yet supported by the show - is that Cat knows who Supergirl is, and is smart enough to know that if Supergirl / Kara know that then it will push her away. Cat knows that by pretending ignorance, she keeps them close and that gives her power. A definite possibility, and it’s a nice breath of subtlety in the show compared to most of the other relationships that are rather by-the-numbers. To be fair, Melissa Benoist does a good job of acting adorkable or assertive in her different guises; it’s more than just glasses on, glasses off. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/supergirl-question/737812)._
