'tac' by default does the same as cat, but in reverse order. I didn't know about 'tac' and it took me a while (about 5 minutes, but anyways :-P) to find it. I think having a "see also tac" on cat's manpage could be useful and save people some time :) The attached patch does this. I almost copy from 543696a (doc: add a cross reference from tac's man page to "rev") so I think it should be ok. But please let me know.
