What would happen if the cat was clogged?

So i posted a thread in the forced induction section asking about a problem with major power loss. It then came to me. Maybe the cat is clogged.

So now im wondering, what would happen if the cat was clogged in my car?? it would result in major power loss and a constant hesitation type deal right? you would floor it, the rpms would climb, but the speed wouldnt go up very fast right? im getting desperate hear cuz i cant imagine what the porblem could be

if your RPM is climbing and your speed isn't, your clutch went bye bye

if your cat was truely clogged, it wouldn't let any flow through and the engine would die. (i had a car with a truely clogged cat)

if you mash the gas and the rpm's rise with no corresponding change in speed, thats the clutch.

its still catching speed, just now, its as fast as a honda civic. thats the clutch? when i rev it up in neautral up to like 6000 rpm, around 5500 it makes this slight stuttering squeal.

you can also adjust your clutch pedal if needed.. it made my car easier to drive..
