Yes a cat converter can cause that to happen but I have read that a faulty o2 sensor will take the cat out also. The older cars you can tell if it is the cat by letting the car run go for a long ride (at night) and look under and if it is really bad you'll actualy see it "glowing" red.
Otherwise take it to a repair shop chain they will be able to tell you normally at no cost for a free estimate for repairs.
