Do you know what the readings for CO and HC's are? CO readings can escalate for a variety of reasons (of course like anything else) but check it for vacuum leaks and make sure the EGR valve is working properly.
I don't think that getting the Cat hot is going to help with Carbon Monoxide but I could be wrong.
