On my late 2012 Mac-mini with a 2.6GHZ quad core I7 processor it takes about 3 minutes to load from the desktop ICON. I loaded 8.9 under the previous (10.13.?) version and it did take several minutes, probably at least 15 minutes, to organize and start. The last few versions of SageMath have been slow to start. When I have a problem as you describe, I just delete and reload, but with Catalina, I'm not sure how it will load. My machine is old and overloaded with at least two other servers running, so I expect slower results, some I start and stop like Sage unless I or my wife needs it, but two are usually constantly going. You might try deleting what you have, try another download site . . . I like Washington or MIT, that has been an issue once, reload, and step away from the machine until it prompts you. I have been impatient more than once and experienced problems.
