Cat does nothing because it doesn't change the current state.  It should return:

standby mem disk

if the kernel is built to handle power management.  If it does return
any of these values, to change state you would type (as root):
echo mem >/sys/power/state   # suspend to ram
# or
echo disk >/sys/power/state     # suspend to disk (hibernate).
