heres a suggestion...
get a screwdriver, gaffa tape it to your ear, and lean in the engine bay 
but seriously tho... get a big screwdriver, put the tip at the base of each injector, and put your ear to the handle..
check that each of them is ticking the same...
if you had an injector fail or stick open, it would inject heaps of fuel, causing dark smoke (fuel/carbon smoke), causing that cylinder to miss badly (loss of power) and would cause the cat to heat up very quickly (since heaps of fuel + air from the non-burning cylinder) and could cause the cat internals to break down/melt/clog/etc, and is often a cause of cats to glow to red hot....
just being clogged shouldn't make them that hot, except if it was a turboed car with high exhaust flow/heat, but catalytically burning a shiteload of fuel in the cat will definitely do that ... 
anyhoo, even so, your cat is probably shagged.. they don't like being THAT hot.
let us know how you go with the injectors
Cya, Stewart
