Good reasons to reorg a catalog might include:

Remove IMBED/REPLICATE.
Out of or near out of extents.
Dead CIs.
In sufficient index and/or data CISIZE. 
Catalog is allocated in tracks rather than cylinders.

Simplest method: see the extents in ISPF.

CAT can have up to 123 extents (cannot be multi-volume), of course the volume 
cannot be full, otherwise the next extent won't have a place.
BTW: I remember an opinion of Mark Thomen (he works with catalogs in
IBM): there is no pain if your catalog have extents of splits. No need to 
reorganize it.
