Something is really wrong here, but it almost certainly has nothing to do with the cat. The cat cannot convert what is not there! You are sending unburnt fuel into the exhaust. Lots of unburnt fuel. I have trouble believing that this is caused by something that would produce small errors in the combustion mixture. Ignition would be the first thing I would suspect. If you are going to try to solve the problem yourself, I would replace EVERYTHING in the ignition system immediately. Whatever the problem is, the car should run smoother when the problem is addressed. It's gotta be running rough to produce a glowing cat.
Do not drive the car until the problem is fixed, except to limp to a mechanic, if this is necessary.
