I forgot to mention, the light came on after driving with a stuck open thermostat for about 6 months.

Nope, I ended up having to replace the cat. Bought a used one from a low mileage car. Initially the CEL came back at just a hair over 1K miles. Since changing the cat, no CEL and the car has more power than it did before.
