Actually, that is a cat boat... not a cat. I've never heard them referred to as Cats, unless it was prefixed by a brand or make, like Beetle Cat...
If you say cat by itself, most people will assume catamaran, not cat boat.

You can't call a Brigantine a "Brig" because those are two different types of vessel. With similar names.
You can't call a Barquentine a "Barque" because those are two different types of vessel. Similar names.
And a catamaran ain't a cat.
This is a cat
Now I'm done...... Hangs head. Shuffles off. Mumbles. |

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
