boot.cat is what allows the cd to be bootable. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I've heard that it is created by mkisofs when you build a bootable iso.
isolinux.bin is the bootloader program for the cd, as lilo or grub is used on harddrive installs.
They are both binary files, as far as I know, so I don't think you can really see what's in them unless you are proficient with bin/hex editors.
You'll probably find better info by searching the web for bootable CDs or something similar.
