Default question about catt

I have a question about my catt, which is actually an LC if it makes a
difference:

It's newest growth has been rather slim, not much pseudobulb there, but it
already has a sheath on this growth as well (it cam with two sheaths when I
bought it, and the flowers on the a bit older growth are now fading. This
newest growth developed brown spots on its outer "layer" (or whatever the
plant's skin is called around the pseudobulb) and then this outer layer
became dry. The upper part of this same growth, the sheath with bud within,
continues to look green and healthy. Is all this normal? Or is something
wrong? I figure maybe the pseudobulb is developing and as part of this
development process it sheds its outer skin like a snake. :-)

I don't know much about Catts, all I know is that if my Phal or Paph behaved
that way I would be worried, but I know that this is not a Phal or Paph so I
figure maybe it's normal (?).

Thank you for any advice, including more terminology so that I can describe
this better.
