Maybe the size of the cat is the problem. If they put bigger cats' on, there would be more surface area and it wouldn't restrict as much. I wouldn't know.

This does sound logical tbh.. It doesn't seem like its a melting/heat issue. It seems its the exhaust pressure putting strain on the cells and bending them inwards/outwards or whichever way they want to go.
