Default CAT bolts
The three bolts on the cat are they removable or they are fixed on the CAT?

They are similar to wheel studs. They're a "pressed" fit and can be pressed or pounded out.

I used a torch to heat them up and it seemed to make them easier to hammer out. I also wrapped the hammer with a ton of duct tape so I would not damage the threads to badly.
