I love catmint. It is probably my favorite perennial. It's so carefree. I leave it up all winter and in spring I cut it to the ground and let it grow up from there. The deer hate it. The bunnies hate it. The beneficial bees love it.

Yes, I would cut it back when transplanting. The best time of year for moving things around is in spring before they put on a lot of growth. This summer it's been so cool that you can get away with moving things around without much shock as long as you water them in well.

Here is a picture of my catmint taken earlier this year.
