    That is your catalytic converter overheat light.
    You definitely have a flat battery, and possibly also a faulty alternator.

    If your alternator is no good your battery will go flat pretty quickly too.

    Anything happen at all when you try to start? Rapid ticking sound?

    If the battery is new and in good nick, then it could be a sticky starter solenoid, or dead starter.

    But the cat light is weird. Any error codes?

    Error code or a dead alt wont stop the car starting. Error code will just tell you were to look. Car will start with the alt removed as long as the batt is good.
