Try replacing the oxygen sensors, they might have ruined the cat in the first place. Usually when the cat goes, a malfunction upstream caused it. The cat will quickly fail on a car that only does short trips (<5mi) during its life. If this isn't the case for you, the culprit is probably the O2 sensors or a fuel/oxygen balance problem.
If the dealer diagnosed your car then charged you to repair the car and this is still the problem i'd take your car back to the dealer & raise hell..they have to get it right,i'd also refuse to pay another penny since they're one who diagnosed the problem in the first place
