Normally, you do a 'which cat' and it says:
/bin/cat
then you'd know, if the command was in bin, the source would be in
/usr/src/bin, but if you've blown it away, this wouldn't work. In that
case, I'd do 'locate cat| grep usr/src |more
and inspect the output for something likely looking, like:
/usr/src/bin/cat
of course, a lot more than that will spew out, but you shouldn't have
trouble ignoring things like:
/usr/src/lib/libc/sys/ftruncate.c
