Little Cato and Lois have similar feistiness that I think would make them get along great. Also, he's not too jazzed about being stuck in another dimension so his first instinct is to poke around. Maybe they can get into trouble together investigating.
Plus, while his situation with his dad is a lot more...extreme. (Like, he was raised to be cool with killing extreme) his dad was also a military guy, a general. Just uuuuh for a genocidal interplanetary dictator, but still! Same vibe of wanting to raise his son able to protect himself in a dangerous world. And Cato's got similarly complicated feelings towards him due to finding out he was lying to him his whole life about something huge.
