OMG Really Big Cat! I love how the veterinary assistant is very cheerful, while the cat looks very surly.

Is that the same cat that was posted recently? It looks similar, from what I can remember.
Big animals make me nervous.
I think they're plotting something.

I hope not! Taz and seanyboy, you can delete this if it's true. I'm looking through posts and I don't see it yet.

That cat reminds me of the homicide sergeant from The Wire.

It looks like the cat that swallowed the cannery.

I think the very last big-ole-cat post was tubcat... a different fellow.

I think this is the same cat that was stuck in the doggy door. I believe it was in Florida. I am glad the kitty was reunited with his owner.

Turkey? More like the whole Ottoman Empire!

Hah.

The character's name is Jay Landsman, played by Delaney Williams. Confusingly, Jay Landsman, the actor, plays Lt. Dennis Mello on the Wire.

Oh good! I'm glad I didn't miss anything.

I'm so happy! I'm working in a new office and I doubt anyone there understands giant cats. They may, in fact, frown on giant cats.

I mean... giant cats are funny! Just like giant atoms.

LoriFLA: Yes, this article says the cat was stuck in a pet door!

The story with the pic says the cat was found by Jadwiga Drozdek. What a great Polish name. Jadwiga. Drozdek. Love it. ;-)

20 lbs? Bah! He's a mere welter-weight. When you've slept with a 24 lb. beast crushing the breath out of your chest, then you know the meaning of love.

Better yet, Jay Landsman, the actor, is also Jay Landsman, the former Baltimore homicide detective.

It's Bagpuss! Seriously, it's the double of him. Look!

Totally a double post but no one cares! Yay big cats!

I taped a picture of this cat to my cat's food bowl to discourage them from gouging.
