NO DOUBT... Cats... There is a solution. Goto a car parts place...
Look by the injector cleaners and oil additives. There shoud be a
product called Cat Deodorizer... Dump this in your tank and get on it
a few times while your running on that take... FUN!!! But it will work!

HOLY THREAD REVIVAL!!!
Depends when your car was manufactured, but the emissions are warrantied longer than the rest of the car; check your owner's manual.
Usually cats that smell like rotten eggs are cats that haven't heated up to operating temp. If it makes this smell continuously... there stands a chance the problem is more involved than just the cats. But anyway, the dealership will look into it if you take it in.

Go to Ford's genuine Service site ( http://www.genuineservice.com/genuineservice/en/default?page=Home ). On the left-side menu is an entry for Warranty; you can use that to get the Warranty Guide for your car. It has the details of the Federal emissions warranties.
