"Cat and Mouse" is chronologically the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. It also serves as a prequel to all the other episodes and takes place before "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E16TheHiddenEnemy The Hidden Enemy]]" and [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsMovie The Pilot Movie]].

On the planet Christophsis, a relief effort by Republic senator Bail Organa has been trapped by a Separatist blockade. A task force led by Anakin Skywalker attempting to rescue the Senator's forces has been halted by the spider-like Admiral Trench. Anakin is about to order a suicidal charge past the Separatist line when another ''Venator''-class Star Destroyer commanded by Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives from hyperspace. Noting that Anakin had disobeyed his order not to engage the enemy until he returned, Obi-Wan calls on Anakin to pull back, as he has a new weapon to use.

Anakin takes a shuttle to Obi-Wan's ship and is shown a prototype stealth ship. Obi-Wan wants Anakin to use the ship to slip past the blockade and deliver badly-needed supplies to Senator Organa.

As Anakin prepares to move out, Admiral Yularen recognizes the signature symbol and tactics of Admiral Trench, whom he thought killed in a battle eight years before. He contacts Anakin and warns him about who he's up against, volunteering to accompany Anakin on the mission and advise him.

Back on the Separatist flagship, Trench and his Tactical Droid are assessing the situation. Trench decides to pressure the Republic by bombing Organa's position in order to draw the Republic fleet out. Unfortunately, the bombers are about to fly right through Anakin's airspace. Unable to attack without dropping their cloak, Anakin tensely chooses not to engage as the droid bombers fly past without incident. As they strike, Organa desperately calls Obi-Wan for help. Yularen and Anakin advise against Obi-Wan attacking, and Anakin decides to try for a decapitation strike on Trench himself.
