I want Catra to get her pet lioness. Maybe Adora accidentally transforms a normal lion like she did Swiftwind, and she ends up with Catra. Could add bitter sweetness of her being a sort of “unintended gift” from her former friend.

Also, maned lioness are a thing in real life

edit: Thinking on this more it does open up things for Cattra. It terrifyingly gives her someone for Shadow Weaver to threaten in order to bring Cattra in line.  

I imagine she’d love being able to use Clawdeen for propganda purposes, while Catra looks on “girly stuff” with disdain because of hubris and cynicism, much of the horde likely has fallen hook line and sinker for the anti-princess propaganda. Being the person who claimed an aspect of the enemies power for herself, oh yes that’s an ego stroker
