Well, that is the "right" way, I guess... you should only have to undo
the joint behind the cat to push the pipe aside and see what's up in
there.  Might be easier said than done, at least have some new bolts and
gasket on hand to reassemble.

The crude test is to bang the cat with a dead blow hammer and see if it
rattles, though to me this seems like a handy way to bust up a good
unit.  If there is enough play to shake it at all that might also give
away some info, but your cat is probably pretty tightly affixed to the
downpipe.
