That thing is awesome! Only dream of mine getting that big
 
It might just be different personalities among dif. fish. Mine is out all the time looking for food. It's about 3" and has grown maybe an inch in over a year and a half. I think he is out more because he has more compotetion for food w/ 3 other cats in my African tank. Lots of hiding spots w/ a pipe being his favorite, also allowing me to see him alot since it is close to the glass. I also run an Actinic cycle at night. Thats when all the cats come out. Frozen krill and brine really seem to bring out the cats as well.
 
I have had mine for 2 years now, he was 2" and now barely reach 6", if that.

I have never seen my irwini, he's about 6-7" he just hide all day and night long..

I've had my striped and spotted rapheal catfish for about 2 years now. If you want to see them more than once a month, you will need a moon light in your tank. If you step quietly into the room at night you will see them very active cruising all around the tank.
