CATOs don't touch on CIC officers' dress.  That's covered by the Canadian Forces Dress Instructions.

I can't think of very many circumstances in which a CIC officer would wear a highland uniform.  All that comes immediately to mind is if playing in a pipes and drums band.  The CIC is a branch, so CIC officers wear the accoutrements of that branch even if they are serving in a cadet unit that is affiliated with a different branch or regiment.  In other words, the cadets in an army cadet corps might wear highland accoutrements because the corps is affiliated with a highland regiment, but the officers would still wear CIC accoutrements because they are members of the CIC branch, not the highland regiment.

For reference:

At the request of the affiliated regimental
commander and with the approval of the area
commander, Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC) officers
serving with kilted cadet corps may be authorized to
wear the kilt, for purposes of dress uniformity, on
those occasions when their cadets wear the kilt.
