What is a blot?

You will need to be more specific, which catalog tables are growing?

Also what Postgres version are you using?

I am not seeing the behavior you describe, when using 9.4:

production=> create temp table p1 as select  plant1.* from plant1;
SELECT 4535

production=> analyze p1;
ANALYZE

production=> select relname, n_tup_ins from pg_stat_user_tables where
relname='p1';
  relname | n_tup_ins
---------+-----------
  p1      |      4535
(1 row)


production=> drop table p1;
DROP TABLE

production=> select relname, n_tup_ins from pg_stat_user_tables where
relname='p1';
  relname | n_tup_ins
---------+-----------
(0 rows)
