Which side of the cat are you talking about?
If you are talking about the side of the cat that connects to the midpipe of the exhaust then those are studs, only the nuts are supposed to come off.

"turbo" sockets. sears sells them.
if you have a torch, heat the nut up til red then go at it with the turbo sockets.
give the nuts a good wack with a hammet too to knock some rust loose.
