What are some things that can cause a catalytic converter to fail?

I bought a catalytic converter less than 2 years ago and already its rattling. I have recently replaced the valve seals and the valve cover gasket, and I am going to have the fuel mixture checked when I replace the cat. Is there anything else I should check that might have caused it to fail so quickly? Car is a '90 560SEL. Thanks for any input.
