    Here is my c++ solution, you can watch the explanation here : https://youtu.be/vbV5-DqJU74

    string catAndMouse(int x, int y, int z) {
    int a = abs(x-z), b = abs(y-z);
    if(a==b) return "Mouse C";
    if(a < b) return "Cat A";
    return "Cat B";
}

    Short version

    string catAndMouse(int x, int y, int z) {
    int a = abs(x-z), b = abs(y-z);
    return (a > b) ? "Cat B" : (a < b) ? "Cat A" : "Mouse C";
}

    step1 = abs(z - x)
    step2 = abs(z - y)
    
    if step1 == step2:
        return 'Mouse C'
        
    elif step1 < step2:
        return 'Cat A'
    
    elif step2 < step1:
        return 'Cat B'

    // Complete the catAndMouse function below.

    static string catAndMouse(int x, int y, int z) {

    int mouseToCatA = int.Abs(x - z);
    int mouseToCatB = int.Abs(y - z);

    if(mouseToCatA == mouseToCatB)
    {
        return "Mouse C";
    }
    else if(mouseToCatA < mouseToCatB)
    {
        return "Cat A";
    }
    else return "Cat B";

}

    Perl:

    sub catAndMouse {
    my ($x, $y, $z) = @_;
    
    return "Mouse C" if (abs($y - $z) == abs($x - $z));
    return (abs($y - $z) > abs($x - $z)) ? "Cat A" : "Cat B";
}
