Supersize me

Skillet weighs 22 pounds.

That's 88 sticks of butter, three-quarters of a Charlie, and about twice the mass of an ordinary cat. But he looks perfectly normal to us. It's Thermos who looks small. And our neighbor's cat Tiny, who weighs maybe 8 or 9 pounds covered in dew, looks, well, tiny.

And if our notions of proper size have been screwed up, what about Charlie? If he grows up with the idea that a pet cat should be roughly his size, things could get way too interesting.
