Try looking for all sources of power usage, the radio, all the lights, and make sure they turn off when the car is off.

My car feels like it might die when Im coming to a stop (very slow, at less than 5mph) I can see the headlights dimming. My car is reading code p0420 which could be a bad cat. Would a bad cat cause my car...

No it may also have a bad or blocked cat though. It sounds like the alternator needs to be replaced or that the belt may be stretched or broken therefore not doing anything.

My 1992 Toyota Celica is always being required to charged every night, Tested alternator and Battery both tested out fine in august when problem first occured, could go serveral days without charging now...

If you have to charge the battery every night, the most likely cause is a drain. Dirty and loose cables may be a possible cause. I would cleand tighten and replace any bad cables. Check all connections alt starter and battery. Question when it does not start does it make any niose? if it makes a single click and you try again and it will eventually catch your starter contacts amy be worn out. If you can check for a drain. Ameter positive cable removed ameter between cable and positive terminal. You should have less than 10 mili volt. Or .010 amps.

Im wondering if i can put a 80 amp 14v alternator for replacement on my 03 kia spectra 1.8l bottom base model which came stock with 80amp 12v can i up the voltage without hurting the car

Your alternator output normally should fall around 14 volts to deliver a charge to your car battery. Car batteries can easily adapt to 2V, 10V and 50V from a battery charger and likewise an upgrade from 12V to 14V output would not hurt anything.
