Our Large Cat Mickey

thank you everyone for all your comments about mickey!! he is doing great!!! He is almost 8 yrs old now and weighs 25 pounds,the vet says he is in good health!! I will post new pics soon of ole mick!!!!

I got my cat from the pound, he was a victim of a divorced family, and my husband loves big cats. So we ended up adopting him, our cat is a ragdoll and the resemblence is uncanny. Our cat weighs around 20 lbs., he is very affectiate. They are like big babies. You have a beautiful baby.

Now He's what our Presidents wife is talking about! His breed is from Wall Sreet, I've seem them on t.v. On the Letterman show; He's called a "Bankers cat",or an "F.C. Breed".
I pray "Mickey lives long and prospers!"I'm impressed! "His brother plays B-ball,'SHaq'."
Thanks for
for the 'fun' posting. He's beautiful!

I'm sure you do whatever is best for the cats, Jill. My best wishes for you all. 🙂

I understand, and we do the best for our cats and watch how much they are fed everyday!I apologize.And also sorry to hear about your cat, some people just don't realize how much they mean to ya!!

Sorry Jill, I did not mean to be rude. The subject of weight is not controversial where I come from, but I understand that others see it differently, so I always weigh my words carefully. I thought I did just that, but apparently not enough.
Some years ago I lost the best cat I ever had to diabetes and liver failure. He was just nine and would have lived for much longer if I had managed to keep his weight down in time.
Whether a diet is needed can of course not be judged from pictures alone, but I comment on what I see and do so with the best of intentions.
p.s. I have enjoyed every pic all the same.

Jill, I don't think Finn is being rude, sorry. He is simply making a polite point and trying to be helpful. Mickey is a great boy cat and he has given us a lot of enjoyment.

If you read about the savannah cats they don't need to go on a diet, they are just big cats.I could care less if he is a savannah cat or not or whatever,I thought people would enjoy looking at pics of a large cat!!!! Please keep your rude comments to yourself, so everyone else can enjoy these pics of Mickey..

Sorry, forgot to fill in my name...

Hi Jill. Well, actually Michael didn't suggest your Mickey being an f2 Savannah - he was just comparing the size. But whatever he is, he's very impressive and no doubt a very special character. Funny how he enjoys water and bathing. 😉

But (as I also told Gennise & Loren's Wolfie), maybe Mickey should consider going on a diet. I know how hard it is practicing this with more than one cat in the house, but it will keep him healthy for many more years. He deserves it.

Which one do you think is Mickey!?.........

I told you I needed a King Sized one....

Mickey at table listening out (see his ears pinned backwards) for the arrival of his afternoon muffins that he ordered..

I am just reminding you that you won't ever get a Christmas present as good as me! And anyway where's my nibbles...

Thank you for commenting and checking out micks pics. He just turned 6 years old on Oct. 1st. The picture of Mickey in the sink was when he was only 2 or 3 years old. Now he can't even fit in our kitchen or bathroom sinks. He loves taking baths in the bathtub. This boy is not water shy at all. He is a very lovable cat. You should check out savannah cats and read how big and beautiful these cats are. Michael suggest Mickey could be a f2 savannah cat. Thanks again and check for more pics soon.

Hi Jill. Sorry for questioning your big boy - now there's no doubt about it, Mickey is indeed a huge cat.
Also he is what I call "a real cat", because when I was a boy most cats in the countryside of Denmark were brown tabbys - although smaller.
For a boy his head is not that wide, so there must be more Continental than British shorthair cats in his roots. Illinois has descendants of a lot of Scandinavians, and maybe some of them brought along their cats, I don't know. 😉
How old is he?

Here are some more photos of the big boy himself:

People this isn't photo-shopped I've seen ol' Mickster with my own eyes!! haha Jill

Jill, send the pictures to mjbmeister[at]gmail.com

Replace [at] with @

and I'll put them on the page.

Thanks

I am trying to figure out how to add more pics of Mickey. If anyone knows how please inform me, I am computer illeterate. I have so many other pics of him that u all would be amazed of how big he is. Thanks for looking, Jill & Mickey

He is huge - I wonder what was in that bottle, when he was small? 😉
Still I would like to see a couple more picture to be certain this isn't photoshopped.

My Bengal Mix is 18 lbs. He is not quite as tall as your cat on his hind legs but almost. He is very muscular. Your cat is very beautiful. I know since you hand fed him you are very close to him.
