From my not too reliable memory I think the Freedom 44 was a cat ketch

because the area of the forward sail was greater than the area of the
after sail. So I'd guess it becomes a ketch when the jib is added.
If the areas had been equal I think Hoyt would have called it a cat
schooner...

Garry Hoyt called his original 40 and the 44 (basic design without a
jiblet, cuz AFAIK Frog Kiss is unique in having added the jiblet) cat
ketches.

The Mull-designed 39 is usually called a cat schooner cuz the forward
mast/sail are smaller than the aft.
