Your first catt bloom will just be a matter of time! And it's definitely possible that this sheath on your orchid could be the sheath for the first bloom.
I have one phal only - a mini phal, and just waiting for the buds to develop a bit more. I purchased it in November last year, with flowers on it. Then I snipped the flower spike - but an adequate portion that stayed green, and is still green. But the latest spike sprouted and was unnoticed until it popped out from under a leaf. The new spike was hidden under the leaf when it was developing. The flower buds are doing ok! Situation normal and under control!!
