catt: catt doesn't allow to select subtitles inside the container
The --subtitle option looks for either an URL or a local file. There is no way to specify a track inside the container.
catt --info does show that the subtitle tracks present inside the container.
It would be nice if those could be selected.
Not sure how much work that would be. And in any case, thank you for catt. It’s so much better than going through chromium or an app on my phone!

For other people looking for that kind of feature, I created a small script which extracts the subtitles from a mkv file and call
catt castwith the freshly extracted subtitles. I uploaded the script to a gist if anybody wants to use it: https://gist.github.com/EtienneM/499ed604be10191cb3c709497264d65eI ran into this problem as well. Thank you to @EtienneM for the clever script that solved it!
I updated said script to work with latest ffmpeg: https://gist.github.com/cmvanb/8a288f2cf8f3081c5be8ea80dcc56eb8
