Pictures are a must!
This post really belongs in the Orchid forums but I can help you anyways.
It is not a Catasetum, properly it is a hybrid called Fredclarkeara After Dark. These are warm growing orchids.
When grown in cooler climates, they go dormant and drop their leaves. They do not do much for anywhere from 2-6 months. The new growing season starts in the spring and then the plants need warmth, water, good sun and fertilizer. I grow mine in sphagnum moss, clay pots with slow release fertilizer. I water them twice a week over the summer. In the winter, they don't get much water at all.
Your plant is probably just going dormant. But when they "awaken" in the spring they really put on nice growth if you follow my above directions. But if you don't provide good culture they fail to put on serious growth and don't do as well in dormancy.
I repot them every single year! Their roots die back quite a bit when they go dormant and they rot and make a potting mix go sour and it causes roots to die back. If you don't repot, you won't have much success growing them.
