my cat clogged?

Could a clogged cat be causing hesitation in my acceleration?

my car runs good when it is cold, but runs bad when it is at a hotter temperature. I heard it could be the cat. If it isn't what else could it be?

Yes, a clogged cat will cause loss of performance, also the car may run a bit warmer.

At nite let the car get up to operating temp and look at the cat to see if it is glowing.

Yes he means glowing, it will be very red. You will not be able to mistake it.
