Burning smell coming from cat

A little bit of a misleading title.

This is really just more of an FYI.

I didn't know what it was at first. I smelled it and frankly my town just stinks sometimes when the winds blow from the Goodyear plant. But on the second or third day I smelled it after driving my car I got worried.

I finally stuck my head up under my car, best I could, and noticed something on the left cat. It's a high flow cat. So I was really hoping against a few things:

-the car was about to catch on fire
-I had melted a cat
-something above the cat had fallen on it and was melting

Anyway, got new tires installed today and asked them to peak at it while it was on the lift.

Turned out to probably be a plastic bag or some other trash had gotten up under the car and was stuck on the cat and melting/burning off slowly. They got what they could off. Pretty much I just need to let the rest burn off. But it's much better now.
