It's probably not the cat, but the heatshield that surrounds it. Take some vice grips and tear at the corners where the mounting holes of the heartshield are, just rip it out. You will find that at least one of the mounting holes is rusted out, and since it isnt secure the shield rattles. There are top and bottom shields, I would only remove the one that is rattling. I hope this helps! Later!

Hence the reason I say to tear it out, you dont need it and if it isnt there it cannot rattle anymore! Later!
