I took a 46' cruising cat from Florida to California, then later from LA to Hawaii. My overall observation is that a cat goes over every wave twice; first one hul then the other goes over the wave so the motion is much jerkier than we're used to on a monohull. In beam-on waves, the hulls float over the waves, so in big ones you may find you tip over more than on a mono, which has all that lead trying to keep it upright.
