Answer:

Warily

Step-by-step explanation:

A very cautious mouse would warily walk past a sleeping cat. When someone is wary, they are cautious, careful.

To maneuver means to move skilfully or carefully, but it would not be used in the context of a mouse. For example, you could maneuver while driving a car.

The remaining two words have completely different meanings. Matronly means of, relating to, or having the characteristics of a matron (usually a mature and dignified married woman who has an established social position).

Odious means extremely unpleasant.
