To save her inbox from nudges, she's running a bit behind and says she's up to queries sent 5/31 (as of 8/10)

Cathie saw my tikTok video about querying and asked me to email her.
Emailed 8/7
Cathie replied and sent me the link to query/submit full manuscript on 8/8
Sent full manuscript via link 8/9
I also know one of her clients very well so considering this a "referral" of sorts, too. I'm an indie author looking to go the hybrid route.

Nicest and most helpful response I have gotten. A no, but a really good no. I appreciate the time taken in the reply. 45 days.

Extremely lovely personalized rejection. Apologized for the delay (!! what delay?) and offered a connection to an agent at another agency who might be a better fit.
Cathie renewed my faith in the process single-handedly.
