This triggers a flashback to her time in the labs when she is instructed to use her powers to hurt a long-haired white cat in a cage. The cat hisses at her vehemently as she applies her powers under duress. In the end she can’t bring herself to hurt the cat.  This ragdoll cat was played by cat actor Skyler.
