Catalytic converters suck

So my cat went bad and the stuff inside was all broke up. I can't afford a new one, so I took it off, dumped out all the loose stuff and put it back on. I left about half of the stuff in it, so I'm not completely sure if I'm legal or not, but whatever, truck runs better

Is it bad if I left half of the stuff in it even though it wasn't loose?

How did the cat get damaged?

How did the cat get damaged?

His engine wasn't/isn't running correctly. Excess oil in the combustion chambers plugged up the honeycomb, and either exhaust running too hot (lean) cooked it into oblivion, or water from short trips corroded it into oblivion. Possibly any combination of which.

It won't do anymore damage to his engine than he was already doing.
