My sister-in-law Carrie absolutely is in love with one of my cats, Mikey. In July of last year, she and my (twin) brother, Lance, moved from Michigan to North Carolina. While they made it back here for Christmas, we haven't seen them since, and Carrie hasn't been able to see her beloved Mikey.
Therefore, as I spoke with her tonight, I was telling her about Mikey's recent trip to the vet's office. You have to understand Mikey. We have tried since he was about one to get him to lose weight, but he just doesn't seem to want to. He doesn't eat that much, and is somewhat active, but for whatever reason, he is just a very large cat. The recent vet's visit surprised even the girls at the counter - he weighed a healthy 29.5 pounds!
I promised Carrie I would share some pictures so that she could see Mikey again, so here you go Carrie:
Here is Mikey doing what he loves to do!
Here is our other cat, Stormy, who is a little more "normal"
Here is the two of them - so you can see the size difference!

Hi Lisa, Did you name your Mikey after me. After all it sounds as if he is just the opposite of me.
Mike (barb's bro)
Holy smokes! I think Mikey weighs more than Nola - heck, more than Sarah I think! hahaha!!! Now that's funny! So funny to see the pic of Mikey and Stormy - really gives perspective.
What did the vet say was going on with Mikey? Everything OK?
Hey Mike - We actually thought of the name based on the Life cereal commercials of long ago - "Mikey likes it, he'll eat anything"!!! Seriously though, that was his name from the Humane Society, so it just stuck!
Everything is fine with Mikey, just a little UTI. Gotta give him meds which he is thoroughly enjoying. What is funny is seeing Mikey and Stormy fight, because Mikey is such a wimp!
Anyway, thanks for checking out my blog!
