This is the problem that is called Relational Divison Problem. Peter Larsson has a very interesting blog about it.

http://sqlblog.com/blogs/peter_larsson/archive/2010/06/30/relational-algebra.aspx

one of the possible solutions:
select ArtNum from YourTable
where CartNum IN ('INT','ISR')
group by ArtNum
having MIN(CatNum) = 'INT' and MAX(CatNum) = 'ISR'
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
