i just bought this external mic....rode and dead kitten cover for $125.00 from Walmart

is it supposed to look like this?....the fluffy thing doesn't even cover the whole mic??

No, it should not look like that...the windscreen is too small. If you like arts & crafts, you could make your own windscreen for about $5. This would also ensure a custom fit. Check out this video:

Rode has different models. A couple of stubby ones like these:
