Cats get really hot, they are there to burn unburnt gas that leaves the engine. I doubt there is a problem with them.

its going to smell funny because the cats are brand new, it'll take a week or so to break them in fully, the gas smell is probly due to the fact that your car is probably running rich. Let the cats break in, then if you still smell gas, it might be time to get a MAFT.
