Code thrown

Started up my car and drove to work when not even 5 min , check engine light came on. Code is P0420 Code: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) DTC 2 of 3.

Upon some research culprit could be o2 sensor or the cat itself. Any input on what my next steps should be would be helpful.

Car just threw the same code today again , I’m going Catless next week so I’ll see if the cat was the actual problem. But do you realize the car wasting more gas or is it just mine??

very weird, maybe the weather can influence the sensors. I have not received that code only the catalyst
