Miley Cyrus performs 'Wrecking Ball' next to a giant lip-syncing cat [VIDEO]

Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Miley Cyrus walked the AMAs red carpet in a relatively demure white tuxedo suit with her father, Billy Ray, and Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton. So it didn't look like the newly minted 21-year-old would be repeating her hyper-racy VMAs performance, grinding up and down Robin Thicke or smoking a joint onstage. Instead, Cyrus capped off the night wearing a tight, French-cut cat bikini to sing "Wrecking Ball." She sounded pretty good, but most viewers couldn't get past the giant kitty speeding through space behind her.
