Sorry for the lack of replies. I'm not really experinced with cat sharks. My only experience with sharks is with larger sharks like bonnetheads and nurse sharks.
If it is active at night I would suggest putting some ghost shrimp in there at night or some whole bait shrimp on the end of a skewer and dangle it in front of him. I've also had good luck using clear monofilament fishing line threaded through frozren mullet to entice picky eaters.
HTH a bit. I really can't give any more specific info.
