Default Lean Misfire along with Codes..need help

i am pretty sure its got a lean misfire, it sounds like misfire is coming from engine bay or directly under the vehicle, had the car up in the air and was tapping on the cats and the passenger side front cat sounded hollow. these codes are also present
code 41
code 91
any ideas what could cause this?
could it be the cats being bad?

I know nothing about the codes but i do know a little about the catalytic converters. If one sounds hollow it's possible that the element has crumble and could be clogging the second cat. the car would run hot, have reduced power, and the exhaust will sound very muffled, assuming its never been correct you could always do the fun test and unbolt your mid pipe and take her for a spin.
