It is automatically added as soon as data is imported into GRASS. If "cat" exists in an external dataset then GRASS will attempt to rename it to "_cat". If that also fails, GRASS will abort with an error. So the GRASS algorithm provider in QGIS would have to jump through quite some hoops in order to make sure that "cat" (or "_cat") is only removed if it does not exist in the input data that is passed to GRASS. It would also have to make sure that an attribute "cat" is not the user- intended outcome of a GRASS process. In addition, some GRASS commands work explicitly on "cat" and refer to it on the manual page. I think rather than worrying about all of that I would just ignore "cat" or manually delete that column from result data.

[Qgis-user] Attribute "cat" in grass7
I've seen that the grass7 algorithms add an extra attribute called "cat". I wonder if the behaviour of the algorithms can be modified not to show that attribute.
