There are various ways of saying it. This site says the pronounciation is KAHT-leen, others say KAHCH-leen, but where I live we say KOIT-leen. There should be a fada (forward accent) on the last i. This lengthens the sound. The pronunciation would never be KAYT-lin because -ín (pronounced een) is a diminutive ending, like -y would be in English. "-lin" sounds like linn, the word for pond or pool.
