What does car act like when the catyilac converter is clogged?

A clogged catalytic converter causes too much back pressure which in turn robs the engine of power. You can floor it and it gradually moves as under a heavy load. Also the engine will try to compensate by raising the idle and in gear rpm's to1500-1800 rpm's. Hope this is helpful, God bless.
