Are there works/thesis/books/articles/blogs that try to use Cat. theory explicitly as a tool/language for designing software (not as an underlying formalisation or semantics)? Is the question even meaningful?

You might find Don Batory (U. Texas) and his colleagues recent work interesting [1], especially [2]. That said, this is state-of-the-art work and while it looks like it has had some very good results, whether its "meaningful" to an outsider (in the limited sense of applicable to current practice) is an open question.
