Default How can you tell if a Catalytic converter is dead?

Is there any easy way to tell if a cat is on its last legs?

The cat on one of my sons car went - the ceramic structure started to break up inside and you can hear the bits rattling about - a sort of rinkle tinkle jangly sound. Going through water is a killer for CATS.
