The happy, squeaky sounds of Winston

by Meg on July 22, 2008

If there is one thing consistent about this site, it’s peeps asking for MORE WINSTON action. Well here he is, in all his greatness, purring away. And making squeaking noises in the process.

For MORE Winston, check out FourFour. Thanks for the Winston alert, Pamela D.

Oh Winston, I’d feed you tender morsels of tuna just to hear your squeaky purr.

2 BonzoGal 07.22.08 at 3:43 pm

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN-STONE!

We are not worthy.

3 katiedid 07.22.08 at 3:44 pm

Aww.. you know Winston is happy whenever there is food involved… My kitty used to make the same sounds when she tried to purr

4 AuntieMame 07.22.08 at 3:49 pm

That’s Winspeak for “gimme dat”! And surely that last sleepy purr is where the Star Wars Foley people got some of their sound effects.

5 ali 07.22.08 at 3:50 pm

Old Winney always brightens my day.

6 DKN 07.22.08 at 3:51 pm

I will never tire of watching this cat.

In fact, I think I need win-hab! Halp!

7 Juno 07.22.08 at 3:56 pm

Awwwww!! I love hearing Winston sound happy after seeing him look unhappy so many times.

8 momof2kitties 07.22.08 at 4:01 pm

There can never be too much Winnie in this world. My heart has just melted…I LOVE this guy!!!!!

9 skyweaver 07.22.08 at 4:04 pm

Wow. Winston is a real healer, just hearing this clip play is soothing, my stress level just went down a notch listening to the little guy. Thanks, Winst!

10 Jade 07.22.08 at 4:04 pm

Awwwwhhnnn!!! I <3 Winston! He is my favourite Celebritteh. And the fact that he sounds like a pinwheel in need of some WD-40 on a windy day makes me love him even more. MORE WINSTON, PLS!

11 Ermine_Violin 07.22.08 at 4:12 pm

I am officially pwnd by this cat. PWND I tell you.

I need a Winston and that cross-eyed cat in the Hartz ad, then my life will be complete.

12 Cate 07.22.08 at 4:13 pm

I can’t help but wish CO would branch out and create Winston Overload.

13 Jennifer 07.22.08 at 4:17 pm

Mmmm, bananners

14 suzr 07.22.08 at 4:18 pm

was he eating a banana?
i had a cat once that LOVED cantaloupe!
I LOVE WINSTON!

15 Erebella 07.22.08 at 4:21 pm

Wow, that’s awesome! Yay for Winston’s parents for making him such a happy kitteh. And I LOVE the triple shot of purr-smackiness!

By the way, I’ve created the perfect C.O. name for my dog Trixie. She is Miss Dorkus McSpooky GoldenButt. Ha, I love it! See what you guys did to me!

16 scooterpants 07.22.08 at 4:23 pm

OMG. he’s an angel from heaven!
is Winston eating Nanners?!?? it sure looks like it. (i have not seen a cat eating a banana before, maybe its not)
it’s so nice to see his daddy being nice to him and petting him and helping him be a nice kitty.
Winston CAN have a lil ‘attitude’. :)

17 Erebella 07.22.08 at 4:26 pm

P.S.: In the FourFour link, there was the karaoke scene from the movie PS I Love You! Love that film! Wheeee!!! And Jeffrey Dean Morgan is my future husband, he just doesn’t know it yet! ;Þ

18 Space Cowgirl 07.22.08 at 4:29 pm

Anyone who figures out something Winston WON’T eat gets a Nobel Prize.

19 Tiphi 07.22.08 at 4:30 pm

Purring at work makes my day da Bestest!

20 Jmper 07.22.08 at 4:37 pm

@Erebella: You are not the only one effected by the CO naming. I was playing with my ferret the other day (Gerry) and called him Sir Reginald McStinky Pants. It was a palm to forehead moment when I knew CO was running my life.

I wish my kittehs were as vocal as Winston. Bear and Pippin are quiet purrers.

21 ScoutsMom 07.22.08 at 4:41 pm

Why can’t I see Winston? I am able to view some videos but not all of them – and I can never view the Winston videos? I feel like I’m missing out on something. Help!!!

22 ashley 07.22.08 at 4:43 pm

Winston is a piggy. A fluffy, grumpy piggy that purrs.

23 Juno 07.22.08 at 4:51 pm

Lots of cats like fruit, especially cantaloupe. Helpful Hint: Cut the grapes in half. Otherwise, they just bat them around the floor.

24 Hon Glad 07.22.08 at 4:53 pm

Winston is Fugly but he’s our Fugly. Then nomming on nanners, seals our fate. Winnie we are not worthy.

25 Emily 07.22.08 at 4:53 pm

It must take a lot of nutrition to hold that head up.

I’m not convinced some of these creatures aren’t manufactured in the Jim Henson Studios.

26 Flavia 07.22.08 at 4:53 pm

Winston is great :D
Hilarious.

27 Ameri 07.22.08 at 4:56 pm

The sound for youtube videos doesn’t seem to work on CO for me. I have to click the video and watch it on youtube to get the sound.

28 Kris 07.22.08 at 4:57 pm

Like the purr/snoring at the end. That’s what I’d like to be doing right now.

29 Wombats 07.22.08 at 5:02 pm

WINSTON! I loffs heem!

30 Rosie A. 07.22.08 at 5:06 pm

Oh my God I love that cat. I’ve seen every vid of him, and I just can’t get enough. And his guardian, whose name I cannot remember right this second, is SO amazing to him… Yay Winston’s guardian!

31 Paunchie 07.22.08 at 5:11 pm

Catebritteh Jade?

Celekitteh?

with the summer haircut yet. He and Nelly would make quite a pair.

32 greyhoundmommy 07.22.08 at 5:12 pm

I agree, the triple purr smackiness made my day.
Winston videos are good for the heart and soul.

33 leslie 07.22.08 at 5:13 pm

…as a confirmed Winstonphile …
Awwwwww and also
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Many thanks!

34 Nicolletta 07.22.08 at 5:16 pm

Winston rulez! =)

35 Pearl Ostroff 07.22.08 at 5:18 pm

I had a cat who liked both cantaloupe and bananas. Also cucumber.

This video has me go “Aaaaah!” Winston is adorable.

36 Amy 07.22.08 at 5:22 pm

he looks like he should be saying “DIABEETUS”

37 buckteethandalazyeye 07.22.08 at 5:28 pm

Winston made my day!

38 Sue 07.22.08 at 5:28 pm

I love me some Winston!

39 woofysma 07.22.08 at 5:34 pm

Oh boy, oh boy – Hello Winnie! I’m a charter member of The Winston Fan Club – I’ve also seen all his videos. And, I refuse to attend Winhab. When does he get a movie contract? Love ya, Winnie.

40 zeldapie 07.22.08 at 5:36 pm

Winston, I love you.

41 ThreeCatNight 07.22.08 at 5:41 pm

Winston should change his name to “Purry Mason”!
:)

42 Psipsina 07.22.08 at 5:44 pm

Oh, video no longer available. Darn it all – I could use a Winston fix today.

(Geez, that makes me sound like a smoker.)

43 Jen 07.22.08 at 5:46 pm

Wow, he makes the cutest noises when he’s not yowling!

44 CoffeeCup 07.22.08 at 5:47 pm

Video’s just fine for me, psipsina.

I got sleepy just watching Winston doze off. Oh how I wish I were enjoying the sunshine, pool side.

45 sammy 07.22.08 at 6:06 pm

<3.

46 Erin K 07.22.08 at 6:10 pm

super duper cute Winston!

47 meowandwoof 07.22.08 at 6:14 pm

I’ve missed Winston so! How bout some Winston merch? I’d plaster him all over the city!

48 Acacia 07.22.08 at 6:16 pm

winston can has his own tag, plees?

49 Joe 07.22.08 at 6:20 pm

At 0:19, you can hear him say “Nom-nom-nom. Nom-nom-nom. Nom-nom-nom.”

50 aloria 07.22.08 at 6:45 pm

oooh Winston. I love your round little head.

51 Sarqah 07.22.08 at 6:47 pm

WINSTONE! i lurve heem.

52 eowyn_2 07.22.08 at 6:48 pm

LOL my cat does that squeaky thing too when she’s purring really hard. And if she purrs hard enough, she goes beyond squeak into hacking up hairball. It is HILARIOUS.

53 firepikachu 07.22.08 at 6:49 pm

I squealed for joy whenever I see a Winston posting!! He is my absolute FAVORITE! no joke :)

54 katiedid 07.22.08 at 6:56 pm

Space Cowgirl: He doesnt eat paper.. There is a video that shows him eating all kinds of stuff.. except a recipt… just so yah know… :-D

55 bitchphd 07.22.08 at 7:00 pm

I think Winston must be doing more to promote gay rights than anyone. Who knew that cute cat videos being picked up by a mondo site like CO was the ticket? Heh.

56 April S. 07.22.08 at 7:21 pm

suzr, I too once had a cat that loved cantaloupe. She would also tear open the bread sacks and eat the heels. We thought we had mice for the longest time until we caught her in the act!

57 April S. 07.22.08 at 7:22 pm

suzr, i too had a cat who loved cantaloupe. She would also tear into bread sacks and eat the heels. We thought we had mice for the longest time until we caught her in the act.

58 Meggy 07.22.08 at 7:22 pm

Yay a Winston post!!! I love this guy.

59 Lizzy 07.22.08 at 7:23 pm

Winnie needs to go to nana-hab but he won’t go go go…

For cryingks out loud, could he BE any cuter!? He plays the grumpus all the time, but this just proves that inside he’s a big bundle of furry purry wuv! WUV I TELLS YOU!!!

60 binky-mama 07.22.08 at 7:24 pm

Winston should be prescribed by doctors for high blood pressure. I think mine just dropped a few points.

Winston, you da man.

61 kittykatgurl 07.22.08 at 7:36 pm

He sounds like the predator!!! I love Winston! He’s the best!

62 JNO 07.22.08 at 7:55 pm

When I saw it was about Winston purring I knew it had to involve food. :D

63 Kris 07.22.08 at 7:57 pm

OK, I just have to pipe in here…
We’ve had
cat
cat (waaaay too many photos there)
psuedo-dog
bat
real dog
bun
cat
hammy
hammy

Where are all the DOGS hiding???????? I’m a DOG person, I need my DOG fix!!!! HMPH!

64 shannomo 07.22.08 at 7:57 pm

Love Winston, He’s my grumpy hero. Grapes? Grapes are poison for doggies can cats eat grapes?

65 Jmper 07.22.08 at 8:07 pm

Shannomo- If I remember correctly it is the skin of the grapes that is bad for dogs, if you peel the grapes they are okay.

66 Dave 07.22.08 at 8:08 pm

Oh – I do love animuuls!

67 Ms. Brown 07.22.08 at 8:23 pm

Love this furry little guy. My husband and I play his clips for our 5 kittehs…one of which LOVES LOVES LOVES watermelon and one of the other tries to steal her daddies grapes…

68 Laura 07.22.08 at 8:23 pm

bitchphd,

What is it with gay guys naming their cats Winston? My Fairy Godfather and his lovely husband had a cat named Winston!

69 jennyOH 07.22.08 at 8:26 pm

Joe – the NOM NOM NOM-ing was my favourite part, too.

I have to say, Winston’s summer ‘do looks a little odd.

70 Evan Waters 07.22.08 at 8:43 pm

W.T.- The Winnie-Terrestrial.

71 Katrina 07.22.08 at 8:52 pm

Spacecowgirl- as long as the prize medal is made out of metal, I think he’ll be fine with a Nobel-for what now, gluttony? Are we rewarding that these days of professional eaters who eat 54 hotdogs in a race? Just not cute except when Winnie does it! Of course Winnie doesn’t do it to get attention or anything–oh, now, wait a tick…

72 SillyGirl 07.22.08 at 8:56 pm

oh what a happy kitty! I love eet! I wish they would stop shaving him though…

73 Michelle 07.22.08 at 8:57 pm

Winston needs to be piped over short and long wave radio all over the world. :)

74 winston luffer 07.22.08 at 9:16 pm

i LUFFFFF winston. I made a picture of his face my avatar on a local forum. another poster on the forum is also in love with him.

i really want to kidnap him…or should i say “catnap”? nyuck nyuck nyuck

75 platedlizard 07.22.08 at 9:25 pm

He reminds me of a puppy I had in one of my puppy classes. Said bulldog puppy learned to squeak for attention. Not bark or growl or any of the other noises dogs make. Squeak.

I wish I had gotten it on video.

76 Alex 07.22.08 at 9:25 pm

My God, it’s a tribble!

77 meowandwoof 07.22.08 at 9:25 pm

…just came back to bask in the Winston-glow. No comment from Berthaservant today? I’ve been away, hope our fave marmie-lover is okay!

78 Katrina 07.22.08 at 9:36 pm

Naah, Berthaservant is fine, I bet, just setting us up for a real good one…or could it be—he has a LIFE?

Naah, he’s just setting us up for a good one….

79 BeanSidhe 07.22.08 at 9:38 pm

I want a Winston-Purr ringtone.

80 LesbianNeoCon 07.22.08 at 9:44 pm

Right, yes, I am a lesbian, but I am in love with Winston!! ;-)

81 miltoncat 07.22.08 at 9:53 pm

I can almost smell his cat bref from here!

Winston vid couldn’t have arrived on a better day… I found out today my dad has prostate cancer. :( Early stages so there’s hope, but I’m so sad today. Winnie made me happy.

82 meowandwoof 07.22.08 at 10:02 pm

Miltoncat, many purrs to you – we’ll be here.

83 mags 07.22.08 at 10:11 pm

HA! Amy, that was hilarious! He DOES look like he should be saying, “DIABEETUS”. Aw, I love Winston.

84 Rooanne 07.22.08 at 10:15 pm

aaawwwwwwww a sweepy Winston. It was so cool to see him sweeping.

What the heck WAS he sleeping on, anyway?

I had cats that made that squeeky sound too.

And CO may just explain why, even though I named my new cat Yiska, a very dignified name (it’s Navajo, and means “the night has ended”) I’ve been calling him “Pookie” all the time!

85 miltoncat 07.22.08 at 10:26 pm

Aw… thank you, meowandwoof.

86 Beth (in NC) 07.22.08 at 10:31 pm

Winston smooshy face = the best kind of purrs. :D

87 BeanSidhe 07.22.08 at 10:39 pm

**hugs to milton**

Strength and love.

88 Gail (the first one) 07.22.08 at 10:52 pm

Winston never fails to get all my kitties’ attention!! Their ears all perk up, like “Hey, who’s all happy and why?” He sounds like my Charlie who is an open-mouthed purr machine too!

And to miltoncat: Sorry to hear about your dad…sending {{{HUGS}}} your way…..

89 Slave To Three 07.22.08 at 10:57 pm

My divakitty eats nanners when I buy them. Horus, my pig in kitty fur, will eat just about anything. I thought he had pika. But, he’s just a pig.

Because of CO, Horus has been renamed Piggy McGoobersons. Her Highness, Diva Scarlett, has been renamed Grumpy Fuzzerpants.

Buddy has a pretty normal nick of Buddha Belly.

90 gravyboat 07.22.08 at 11:38 pm

Hee hee, Winnie the Purr!

91 Kats 07.22.08 at 11:43 pm

my cat chirps when she purrs as well. We call it trilling.

Love to hear when a cat does this

92 Noelegy 07.23.08 at 12:13 am

LesbianNeoCon, Winston love knows no gender! He’s a furry purry rainbow.

93 DLR 07.23.08 at 12:35 am

omg. it is shaved winston again, lol.

94 kaitlyn 07.23.08 at 12:48 am

He sounds like the Predator.

95 Maerlyn99 07.23.08 at 1:07 am

I agree with the suggestion that Winston get his own tag, so we can revel in his Win-ness whenever needed.

96 Bunz R Us 07.23.08 at 1:12 am

He sounds like a cricket!

97 C 07.23.08 at 1:17 am

Just wondering – does Winston have Asthma? Sounds like our cat who does.

98 Patty 07.23.08 at 1:38 am

My 13 yr old daughter adopted a hamster from Petco last week, and has not named it yet. She is calling her Hamsterpants for now.What is really bad, my daughter only looks at this site when I say, “come look at this cute (insert cute animal of the day here)”

99 freetomato 07.23.08 at 2:05 am

I am a dog person, I don’t hate cats, but don’t have one, but Winston has stolen my heart. His flat face, pissy attitude, overall atttude…I luvs me some Winston. Vote Winston tag!

100 chanpon 07.23.08 at 2:17 am

OMG, chirpy cat is chirpy! <3 <3

101 Colleen S 07.23.08 at 2:22 am

Winston need his OWN category on this site! He deserves it!

102 lurkertype 07.23.08 at 2:50 am

There is NOTHING better than Winston.

At least on the net.

That such a big grumpus-looking kitteh has the trilling… too QTE!

103 Kristi 07.23.08 at 3:22 am

We need to get Winston an endorsement deal, make him a STAR! Someone get the people at Whiskas on the phone.

104 Heather 07.23.08 at 4:19 am

Wintson…so sweepy…so happy.

Can NEVER have enough Winson!

Thanks Meg!

105 Freya 07.23.08 at 5:37 am

I’m with meowandwoof: won’t someone create some Winston merchandise & invites us to purchass eet?

106 LisaL 07.23.08 at 5:45 am

Lol.. that’s some adorable soundage coming from Winston.

107 Theresa 07.23.08 at 6:45 am

Winston: Proof that cats come from a galaxy far, far away.

108 Barbarella 07.23.08 at 8:24 am

He KILLS me with cute every time. :)

Us here at cuteoverload.com should set up the website http://www.welovewinston.com (checks availability: OMG, already taken!) or http://www.welovewinstonkitty.com (available!!!), like a Winston Appreciation Society… :D

109 Hon Glad 07.23.08 at 9:03 am

Miltoncat:
Hi, My brother has had both Testicular and prostrate cancer, both caught in the early stages.
I can’t say he’s a hundred percent, but generally he’s in good nick. So try not to worry. Hugs and all that. Hon Glad

110 Susan 07.23.08 at 9:18 am

Oh, Winnie! You’re such a sweet kitty.

111 jipp 07.23.08 at 11:49 am

Winston, you are just too cute!!. And that purrer, it’s the best.

112 mamame 07.23.08 at 11:54 am

113 bunnyfluffs 07.23.08 at 11:55 am

I wub woo, Winston.

114 Cat 07.23.08 at 12:25 pm

Re the ending purr- so my Onyx isn’t the only one with a loose belt in his purr-machine. Nala’s purr never makes that slip belt squeak.

115 ihatetoast 07.23.08 at 12:46 pm

i love winston. i love him even more now that he sounds like the alien from Predator.

116 Lurker 07.23.08 at 12:51 pm

Where is Sidekick Kitteh?

117 January 07.23.08 at 12:59 pm

This thing disturbed George the cat who stared intently at the speaker on the desk.

118 vorpalbunnie 07.23.08 at 2:19 pm

Where is the Winstie merchandise?! I need a tote with a giant picture of Winston’s head or a photo-realistic pillow (a la Modcloth or Uncommon Goods). There is a market here primed with cash to supply Winston with more nanners!

119 BeanSidhe 07.23.08 at 2:45 pm

The Winston-Post-Haircut Bobblehead will sell out fast!

120 Theo 07.23.08 at 2:45 pm

*** Hey Peeps ***

This is probably long overdue, but I’ve added a link to the More! More! More! list (in the right-hand margin) for Winston & friends at FourFour. It’s right at the bottom, there.

121 Linda H. 07.23.08 at 3:42 pm

If I listened to this video one more time, for sure I’d fall as…lee..p
budump.

122 Fegli 07.23.08 at 4:01 pm

lol awwwwwww Winny. You are the embodiment of teh qte. P.S. Loving the summer ‘do!

123 Ellen 07.23.08 at 4:11 pm

C – a lot of smooshy face cats and dogs are kind of snore-y, and some cats just have a snore-y sounding purr.

124 Beth Randall 07.23.08 at 5:42 pm

Adorable!!!!

125 anomalous4 07.23.08 at 7:35 pm

NOMrrrrrrrrr NOMrrrrrrrrr NOMrrrrrrrrr
NOMrrrrrrrrr NOMrrrrrrrrr NOMrrrrrrrrr
NOMrrrrrrrrr NOMrrrrrrrrr NOMrrrrrrrrr……….

Happy Winston is happy. Me too.

126 alexa 07.23.08 at 10:06 pm

Thanks Winston for providing us with a lovely serenity break.

127 binky-mama 07.23.08 at 11:54 pm

Teho- Tanks for the Winston and friends link…nice to know I can get a Winnie-fix whenever I want! (NO I do not have a problem and YES I can stop whenever I want)

128 mike d 07.24.08 at 4:37 am

Devastating.

More please.

129 doomchild 07.24.08 at 9:19 am

Teehee, my dog came instantly to see what’s going on when he heard Winston :) Just that purring cats have the same effect on me than sleepy dogs… gotta… stay… awake… gottzzzzzzz

130 Cat 07.24.08 at 1:13 pm

Ellen- but ONyx isn’t a smooshie nose. Onyx thinks he is a Bombay (he’s really a mutt kitty who is healthy, intelligent, and well socialized)

131 Renee 07.24.08 at 2:09 pm

Winnie-face!! OMG, it makes my day every time I get a Winston clip. He definitely deserves his own category. C’mon, what’s the holdup??

I just want to grab his smooshy face and kiss him!!

txredhead67

132 Jeana 07.24.08 at 3:28 pm

Oooh Winston!! ::cups hands in little fists to chin:: You are sooooooooooo adorable. I want to just nom you up!

133 Katrina 07.24.08 at 8:55 pm

Vinston is just vunderful dahling…
that website is a bit much, though,EALGHYUCKYNOOOO.

134 Catsandbeer.com 07.24.08 at 10:22 pm

it’s awesome that Winston is the first thing (in history, at least the history of the Internet) whose incredible popularity hasn’t inspired contrarian haters – everybody loves Winston even after everybody loves Winston – amazing!

P.S. I love Winston

135 teeno 07.25.08 at 2:47 am

lol@ 0:17

137 aurora 07.25.08 at 12:12 pm

agh..i just realised how dumb that post sounds..sorry folks..

sorry winston x

138 armo 07.25.08 at 6:43 pm

Is it just me, or does Winston’s face look like the top of a tomato when his eyes are closed at the end of the clip? So cute!

139 Kimski 08.03.08 at 10:56 am

I’m sure I heard Winston say “pasikie” at some point when he was eating those banana (?) bits.

140 icewhisker 11.01.08 at 10:17 pm

WINSTON ARE AWESOME! purr on little kitty purr on
