"catanet" was a term invented by Louis Pouzin, a French researcher responsible for the design and construction of the Cyclades system that included the Cigale pure datagram network. The term appeared in Internet Experiment Note #48 but as I recall was not used thereafter, when the term "Internet" became the preferred descriptive name of the multiple network system sponsored by ARPA.
