Actually, there is a dog.  It's very nice and provides additional
functionality.  From the man page:

dog writes the contents of each given file, URL, or the standard input
if none are given or when a file named '-' is given, to the standard
output. It currently supports the file, http, and raw URL types. It is
designed as a compati- ble, but enhanced, replacement of cat(1).
