Reading the website, the .cat domain is a generic domain as opposed to  
a country-wide domain.  Therefore, there is no geographical limitation  
as to where a .cat domain can be registered.  We show flags based on  
the location of the originating domain.  Much like .com, .org, .net,  
etc, there is no way to tie .cat into a specific country without some  
kind of IP/domain name -> country lookup database.

Additionally, Catalan is not a specific country.  If we would add a  
flag for Catalan, then we would need to add flags for each U.S. state;  
flags for each of the countries in the UK, etc.  Our country/flag  
lookup was simply not designed to be that specific.
