What do you mean by 'smell' ?

If the cat has gone, yes it will be covered. BUT I don't know what you mean with 'smell of the cat' - - if you mean an acrid smell shortly after start, that is normal.

You will notice it more when reversing too. My sister-in-law had a horrible time with her car. She had to either reverse up or down a long drive and it stank!

Have you changed your petrol supplier / brand, usually to do with the amount of sulphur content in the fuel (rotten eggs = hydrogen sulphide).

I get it it sometimes with supermarket petrol

They are all ULSP and therefore less than 50ppm S
