What Volvodad wrote - or another possiblity but highly unlikely would be a worn out camshaft. Compression readings of 190-200 are not uncommon. Years ago I worked on a 140 showing 230 in a compression test. Those motors did wear camshafts and that was the cause in that case.
High readings would have nothing to do with a cat. - Dave
