I am looking for the equivalent of svn cat in git.

Yes, I am aware that the similar question was asked here. The answer is to use git show rev:path.

However, svn cat can be used for the remote repository. That is, I can do svn cat url@rev and get the file from the specified revision of the remote repository, without getting the whole repository. My understanding is that git show only applies to the local repository.

A workaround I found is to use gitweb interface to get the blob.
