I've never owned a Catahoula and can't stand a performance animal with excessive white on it, as a matter of preference . . but just based on reading and some second hand info from friends . . . I believe it's white on the head, especially in the area of the eye and ears. And it isn't breed specific to Catahoulas. Dalmatians have the same issue and I was told by an old breeder that it was one reason why excessive white was disallowed from Boxer breed standards til the 90's or so.
Any of y'all remember the last time a Paint horse won the Kentucky Derby?
