Default my cat is mad at me

once my car is warmed up, there is a god awful squeeking noise, which i pinpointed to my cat. it seems like the sound is actually coming from inside the cat, in the back part of the cat.

i can shake the exhaust and i can make the squeek happen, but what the hell is it??? do i need a new cat??? it isn't the usuall rattling noise like when a cat goes out, it is a really loud squeek. it gets worse when i slown down the car and on bumps too.

any help is greatly wanted, thanx!!!

Are your heat shields loose? Mine were making all kinds of racket and making me nuts. I ripped those f'ers off and haven't heard a peep from that thing since. I actually took it to a muffler shop to see if they would weld them back on. The guy smiled and told me to take them off.
