English term or phrase: to cat the anchor

Please help translate the following phrase dealing with ships (again!)
They catted the twin sea-anchor and secured collars of heavy chain to the crown of each anchor.
It's from a fiction book, so there's no need to be VERY technical.
Thank you.

brat' yakor na kat

Explanation:

This is the exact naval term. One can also use the word "cat" as a verb; however, this will then be a jargonism.
