If you haven't changed your O2 sensors yet, this could be causing your catalyst failures:

I'll be changing mine this morning. I planned on doing this last summer when I noticed my UOA's starting to show higher fuel dilution and my Actron Auto scanner showed the sensors to be sluggish. But when I had it on jack stands, I realized it would be easier to do on a lift since the wire stowage was pretty complicated. It goes into a shop today.
This happened on my Volvo. O2 sensors went bad and I waited too long to fix. Then the CAT went out. Volvo wanted to charge $2400 for the install. Bought a CAT online for $450 and a friend installed it. Too bad you can't get a cheap CAT in Cali like a Berk HFC. Good luck!
