Cater is also an old Kentish expression meaning 'diagonal' (Kent is a county in southern England). There used to be many apple orchards in the so called 'garden of England', consisting of parallel rows of apple trees. A picker would normally progress through the orchard along each row. However, if he were to progress diagonally through the orchard, he would be doing it 'on the cater'.
