the catalog makes it easy to use and find parts

Sometimes rockauto has discount codes. It takes a bit of googling.

Try a local wrecker for an OEM cat instead of an aftermarket.

Yes, but anything other than OEM catalytic converters are inferior. I, personally, would much rather buy a used, working OEM cat over an aftermarket one.

Then again, to each their own.
