Laylanee "Cat" Adams, a.k.a. "Miss .45" and "The Black Widow Killer", is a misandrist, psychopathic, narcissistic, and international prolific serial killer, hitwoman, and later proxy killer who first appears in Season Eleven of Criminal Minds. She later reappears as the secondary antagonist in Season Twelve as the mastermind in a vendetta against Spencer Reid. She returns again in Season Fifteen for a final confrontation with Reid and the BAU.

Personality

Cat is a charismatic and extremely manipulative woman who thrives from psychological seduction and was prone to target men who remind her of her father.

Biography

As a child, Cat was abused by her father Daniel, who later went away for manslaughter related to the death of her mother, his wife Laila. She was sent to a foster home, but she was abused by the foster father, whom she eventually killed. In 1987, Daniel was released and left the U.S. shortly afterward. As a result, Cat traveled around the world in search of him, hoping to kill him as punishment for his actions. However, when she couldn't, she channeled her rage towards other men.

Cat eventually became a member of an online network of hitmen (though Garcia would later say that connection was "loose") that cropped up after the dismantlement of the Silk Road by the FBI in 2013, and she became known as "Miss .45.” Having developed psychopathic tendencies, Cat was the only member of the network who preferred to kill her targets up-close and personal, in contrast to the long-distance kills carried out by her colleagues. Though she was faithful to a vast majority of her contract kills, she actually double-crossed three of her clients when they wanted her to kill their wives, as said clients reminded her of Daniel, who she was still searching for. 

Entropy

Kat appears for the first time and meets Reid in disguise at Henry & Glenn's Grill Bar. As the two sit down, Kat asks Reid about his wife and how long he has been married. Reid answers for four years. Cat then asks Reid to show him what he does. Soon after, Rossi and JJ appear, undercover, in the restaurant. Cat later realizes that Reid is not married and says that his ring is new and he is lying. She also realizes that Garcia is listening to everything through Reid’s tie, and greets her. She later takes a gun and points it under the table towards Reid. She says she knows that JJ is there, and wants her to leave. She then says what she thinks to be the BAU’s plan to capture her, and for the most part it was correct.

Reid told her that two members of the network, Zac Rubenis and Barry Plyman, are dead. Cat then asked him why he took a break from work, which he deflected. Rossi starts moving towards them, and Cat covers up Reid’s mic and says she will kill him. In turn, Reid tells her everything about his mother and her condition (schizophrenia) and how he left to go help her.

However, Cat does not believe her story and believes that Reid is hiding something. She later says that Reid has a few minutes talking to the other agents in the restaurant, but she does not know that Lewis and Morgan are there. After the stopwatch runs out she asks why would they sit her down for thirty minutes. After a short conversation, Cat reveals she has a partner somewhere in the restaurant. Lewis and Morgan manage to figure out who she was (the bomber) while Reid manages to fool Cat by saying that her father is alive. When she exits the restaurant, she sees that she was deceived and goes to prison.

Season 15

Date Night

Shortly before her execution, Cat Adams executed one last plan to ruin Reid's life and to get revenge on him for outsmarting her. Under her instructions, her former cellmate, Juliette Weaver, kidnapped the father and sister of Reid's date, Maxine Brenner. In exchange, she would get revenge on her ex-boyfriend. Her last wish is to go on a date with him. Afterward, she and Reid kissed outside his apartment, in which Maxine sees them. Cat attempts to drive a wedge between Reid and Max by telling Max about Reid's actions towards her, including him being falsely responsible for her miscarriage before asking Max if anyone has hurt her. After Max tells them about her abusive ex, she leaves with Prentiss and they save her father and sister. It is later revealed that Max was working with the team into arresting Juliette and saving her father and sister; in which Max admits she made up the part about her ex being abusive to gain Cat's trust. It is also revealed Reid was not responsible for her miscarriage as she miscarried months after the last visit.

Modus Operandi

Cat targeted various people through her capacity as a hitwoman, though her favorite target was married fathers who actually hired her to kill their own wives, because they reminded her of her father. Once she had her victims in a highly compromised position, she would kill them by shooting them with a .45-caliber handgun, hence her nickname. She briefly mentioned that she would be so good at manipulating that she could get her targets to kill themselves, though it is unknown if that is indeed the case. During the standoff at Harry & Glenn's Grill and Bar, she held Reid at gunpoint with a .40-caliber Springfield Armory XDM handgun (presumably the same gun she used to kill her victims) and coordinated her actions with Sharon Mayford. Throughout the latter half of Season Twelve, she coordinated her actions with Lindsey Vaughn and Lionel Wilkins.
