Technically all cars should have a cat...not having one will get your car failed in state inspections.

Every personal vehicle manufactured after 1974 came with a cat.

In Missouri, any car made after 1981requires a cat to be in place for it to pass VISUAL emissions inspection. That doesnt mean it has to work, it just has to be there. A cheap cat converter is around $60. But in reality the inspection guy usually just checks to see if the exhaust is leaking and doesnt care about the cat

OP's country code is Czechoslovakia. They are getting very strict on emissions.
