I had a cat collapse on my 1.8 16v so it's not out of the question. If you're concerned about it then don't drive the car until it's sorted.
If it's a missfire then check the sparks first.

put a de cat on, diesels dont need them anyway...

This is the petrol section dude
Decat would work but you lose a fair amount of torque on a 1.8 - it's quite noticeable. Also it'll get louder, by quite a bit.
A cheap catalytic converter would do the trick...

sounds like it needs the problem sorting rather than worring about the cat
