How Google treats duplicate sites

Let's say you own cats.info and cats.org.

You build a site about cats and put the same site up on both domains. You get hosting from different companies, put no link between the sites, so in efffect you have two sites identical to the last html tag, with no connection between them.

The questions are:

1) How will the sites be indexed by google:

a) will both be initially in the main index, and when they are fully indexed, one will be moved in the supplemental index?

b) a version of each page will be in the main index, and when the googlebot crawls the correspondent page on the second site it will be indexed directly in the supplemental index?

2) Even if the content is entirely unique (unavailable anywhere else except on these two sites), will there still be a penalty for it appearing on another site, and if so will both sites incur this penalty?

3) Let's say that you would be on the first page for the search for "cats" if you had the site only on one domain. How much position would an identical site cause you to lose?
