You can use VisualTreeHelper to get the element on the current visual tree of your window.

For convenience, you can use the following extension method that can finds all children elements with the specified type or condition recursively on the visual tree.

public static class DependencyObjectExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable<T> GetChildren<T>(this DependencyObject p_element, Func<T, bool> p_func = null) where T : UIElement
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(p_element); i++)
        {
            UIElement child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(p_element, i) as FrameworkElement;
            if (child == null)
            {
                continue;
            }

            if (child is T)
            {
                var t = (T)child;
                if (p_func != null && !p_func(t))
                {
                    continue;
                }

                yield return t;
            }
            else
            {
                foreach (var c in child.GetChildren(p_func))
                {
                    yield return c;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Then when the window is loaded, you can get all the buttons like this:

var buttons = this.cat1.GetChildren<Button>().ToList();
