They go until they fail and they fail in one of two ways, they plug up or 
the catalyst gets contaminated.

  Anyone know the answer? 

Is the cat converter one of those things like an O2 sensor - to stay on 
the game, it needs replacing every 60K, good or bad. Or - Do you just 
run it until  it gives trouble. 

I definitely believe in preventive maintenance, and I have 12 years on 
my current cat since new- can't really say mileage. Over 130K, though. 
The cats are pricey. 

What say "The List?"
