BLITZER: Miley Cyrus always seems to steal the show at awards program, but at the American Music Awards, it was the giant cat behind her that got all the attention. Here's CNN's Jeanne Moos.</s>JEANNE MOOS, CNN SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's the cat's pajamas, no, not Miley Cyrus' outfit. We mean the cat. The lip-synching cat at the American Music Awards, an Internet star is born. It left many scratching their heads. "That cat in the background during Miley Cyrus' performance is totally freaking me out, especially when the cat cries." Kitty tears cracked up the guy who posted this vine. It was a performance that had cats in living rooms glued to the screen, or at least posed in front of it, so owners could post a tweetpic. And not only cats. My dog just growled at the cat behind Miley Cyrus. (</s>On camera): Miley didn't just sing with the cat. She was covered in cats, at least the parts that were covered. (</s>Voice-over): Her French-cut two-piece was festooned with kitties galore, so were her shoes. Next thing you know, the London-based designer who made the outfit was pitching his cat-covered iPhone cases. One poster eyed the cat's ear, pretending to find a scary Illuminati, a secret society reference. Lip-synching instantly eclipsed other musical felines famous on the Internet. Play yourself off, keyboard cat. A cat name Little Bob, known for having a deformed jaw that make hers tongue stick out, e-mailed MTV, complaining that Miley stole my facial expression. (</s>On camera): In this performance, the cat didn't get Miley's tongue. The cat used its own tongue. (</s>Voice-over): The performance ended with a wink and a wag of the tongue forever looped on the Internet. At least Miley didn't twerk the kitty. She behaved with an animal rather than like one.
