Synopsis
Michael the orange cat stars in comedic vignettes parodying The Fugitive and exploring feline behavior.
Michael the orange tiger cat returns for another series of vignettes. The sketches this time include a three-part send-up of The Fugitive, the famous 1960's TV show. Richard Kimble is now a veterinarian on the lam (lamb?), running from a false conviction for a murder committed by "a man with overbite." Despite the omnipresent danger, he must stoop and intervene whenever he sees a cat (always Michael) suffering; after treating the patient, he plays a trick on the cat and runs away. (He's a fugitive, after all.) Another sketch draws parallels between wandering husbands and wandering house cats, who seem to have similar proclivities. Two more point out what happens when a cat's instincts run up against the requirements of baseball or pro wrestling. (Source: Orphan Fansubs)

- 3 “Not a lot to say about "What's Michael? 2". This sequel to "What's Michael?" is just more of the same. I was hoping to see improvement from the first OVA and so I was pretty disheartened to find...”
- 4 “Not as unpalatable as the original, but that's not saying much since this one is still pretty terrible. It's not the animation or even the voice acting/sound/music so much as it is the general vibe...”
