So just the shield fell off? The converter is still fully intact? If so, I wouldn't worry about it.

A cat reaches extremely high tempertures and can ignite material it contacts. What fell off sounds like the heat shield. If you are certain it will never contact anything flammable - well and good. Otherwise, I would replace it.

just drill you some holes in that thing go to your local co-op or tractor supply and get you some bailing wire and tie that thing up and bam you're done.
