A periodic catalyst is an oscillator that can act as a catalyst. An example of a periodic catalyst is toad, which can catalyse an Octomino 2 like so:

If, in the interaction between an active object and an oscillator, only the sparks of the oscillator (if any) are directly influencing the birth and/or death of the active object's cells, then the oscillator cannot be called a periodic catalyst.
Sometimes, custom period-3 or period-4 catalysts are found using a search program to complete an oscillator, as shown in this p69 pi-heptomino hassler.
