No, you have a non-cat stove. Your stove uses lots of air and high firebox temperatures to burn up smoke for clean emissions. A cat stove is equipped with a catalytic converter, not unlike your car, that eats up the pollutants without requiring high firebox temps and extra combustion air. This allows the cat stoves to burn cooler for longer periods.
There is some good information on the Woodstock web site if you care to do some reading. www.woodstove.com
