MY HERO!!!!
(rolls up sleeves to arm-wrestle Winston and reclaim rightful title)
“UNCLE!!!!”
(I give!!!)
the last one looks to me as if he’s saying ‘yessss it’s delicious too’
I love Winston
why of COURSE you do! only makes sense!
Ringringringringringringring– Banana Cat!
Pardon me while I take a break to go love on my smoosh-faced, squeaky-voice kitty.
Check out the Etsy site too–her fabric choices are fantastic! Especial favorite: Howdy Pardner fabric.
The first picture makes me wish I could miniaturize myself and climb right in there to snorgle weeth heem. He looks sooo satisfied and cozy!
Cats on kitchen counters squick me out: except for WEENSTON!! He flippin’ fits in that bowl like that muffin-top kitty in a vase.
And this is like watching an after-school special about comas: day or night, try to sneak a banana, and suddenly Winston awakes! and he can talk, and WALK!!! It’s a banana MIRacle! [end with triumphant fanfare]
I am with you there too dub1… I would never let my kitties on the counter or tabletop.. but Whinny is ok.. he is allowed because he is so awesome!
Does this mean Winston has now forsaken the fruit bowl?
Okay. I watched that video and then went into the kitchen. My kitchen does not have a pretty wooden bowl full of a squeaky cat next to a bunch of bananas. crap.
My kitchen has the wooden bowl and the bananas. Only the bananas are in the bowl and the cat is outside harassing robins (and failing).
Use green bananas for a firmer bed.
Lol!!
Do spotted bananas make a softer bed?
My SleepBanana is 42.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaah!
Vewwy cwevver.
I want one of those!!!!
Thought he loved bananas.
So cute.
Oops sorry she is adorable.
No, it’s a he. Win is a dude with two daddies.
should train the cat to be a better watch dog because to many bannas where taken very cute !
Oh, no wonder, so that’s why the banana sits on the counter, there is a huge kitty in the fruit bowl.
Why ELSE would they purchase a fruit bowl, if not to hold a huge kitty???
I might be the one and only person on the planet who does not like this cat. But alas, ’tis the truth. I really can’t stand Winston. I can’t figure out what it is about him that annoys me so….
Some people do not like cats with smoshed in faces, Funkygrl101
I don’t normally like flat-faced kitties either and I’m not a huge winston fan, but this video was oddly endearing
I didn’t care much for Winston to start with, but I think my turning point came the first time I saw this banana video. Now I heart him and his grumpy face. And I even [whisper] prefer him to Maru [/whisper]
*gasp!* Sacrilege!!
you don’t have to whisper. maru doesn’t speak english.
plus, he’s a cat.
*snert*
also, I am not a number, I am a person
be seeing you!
As you probably realise, the Engrish comment was intended for the previous post.
I give up.
i’m sorry! can you try a new login for awhile? i’m trying to sort something out for you.
Sharpy – Thank you. It seems to be when I post from home which is not
recwh etc etc. Do you mean keep name Hon Glad and then enter my home email address?
hold off a bit… i may have found a solution.
No he speaks Engrish.
No, I really do give up (for now).
We Love Senor H. G.!!!
(rah, rah!)
Nope. Not the only one.
How can you not love Winnie.
The grumpy smoshed-in face, his annoying meows, the insane love for bananas, bright eyes?
He’s adorable!
Plus, he is a special-needs kitteh who was adopted by two guys who obviously love him and spoil him rotten.
you can’t spoil a cat too much, silly XD… well, they can get fat, but Winnie isn’t.
I also prefer him over Maru
For me it’s
My cat Baltazar > Winston and Kismet (spelling? persian whit crazy wiskers) > Maru.
I’m Team Winston AND Team Maru.
Not a Winston fan (although his banana guarding is cute), but I do love Maru. Also, I’m rather fond of that other Japanese cat, Woody. The one who dunks his head under the running tap. What a kook!
That’s what makes Winston so awesome… his annoyingness!
Why is Andy Rooney so popular? Those face-eating eyebrows that cascade over his rumpled grimace, the unbearably whiny voice, the long-winded bellyaching… he’s a codger and yet he’s loved by millions. That’s his charm. Embrace the Winston-ness of Winston!
Yes, Win’s had his bed since summer. Rich was worried about the heat keeping Win from using or enjoying the bed. But the bananas a-peel won over summer heat. Win was besotted and claimed the bed. Come winter he may never leave this cozy slice of banana heaven.
YOU NO TAKE BANANA!
The wheeskers! in the last pic.
Why has no one mentioned the soundtrack from the first Friday the 13th? Such a great film.
Winston is such a bossy little cat, I love his smoosy faced sass.
Goldie Cat,
But how ’bout his smoosy, certainly warm *ss along with his sass? Love ‘em both! Surely equally cyoot! ;-}
What a most excellent bed!
Winston is da bomb. Awesome smooshy disapproving face.
Man! My kitty never sleeps in any fancy bed or cute thing like a bowl, even. I’m so happy Winston uses his banana bed, it’s pretty perfect for him.
That is so very adorable and funny! I adore Winnie! I love him as much as Maru, but different. Like you love ur two kids the same but different. I have really missed him! I HEART MARU!!!!!!
he’s got banana on the brain!
really cute. i love how he naps in the bowl next to his favorite fruits.
Aww, Winnie – it’s so good to see your grumpy smooshy face this morning!! I’ve missed you!!
PS – Marthava, you are exactly right! I love BOTH Winston and Maru!!
Here Here!!
Perfect for the morning: a bowl of Winston with bananas.
What’s funniest to me about that video is the time-lapse quality of the same bunch of bananas getting riper and browner over time, while Winston remains on guard throughout. Bananas may age and go bad, but Winnie is evergreen.
No one, but no cat, does ‘crabby old man’ quite like Winnie.
I believe the word “curmudgeon” was made for Winston.
In England, he would be called a “Grumpy old git ”
Hear comes moderation – sing song voce
Mah Wilford Brimley imitashun, let me show u it.
I SELLZ U INSHOORENZ
Winston, how I meeesed you. * Smoochy smoooochy…. *
Got carried away there. How wonderful, a bannana bed! And check out his Halloween costume – looks like we meeesed that. Weeenston as a snail.
For those missing Maru…
I LOL’d so hard at the end!
Ahhh, the fierce tail-twitchery with each fail, and 2:27 on a Friday afternoon: schweet. Timmmmberrrrr!
Come for the Maru, stay for the manga captioning.
LOL Thank you Brinnann.. I had not seen this one! Now I can’t stop laughing =)
Thank you Brinnan… I’ll just pick up my flopping lungs off the floor after laughing so hard
Winnie and Maru in one post,
Absolutely hysterical. Maru = one of a kind.
just so you know, you can also get a weezwear bed in polarfleece, for those times when “next to the fireplace” isn’t enough.
These WeezWear beds are awesome, my kitties have two and use them just about every day. And really, who could give a better endorsement then Winston? <3
Harmonic play of
Animal and vegetable
Winston: sleepy bliss
Dis MY banana bed
You can go get your own bed
I don’t have to share
Smoosh-faced kitteh cat
Loved by so many people
Truly, life is tough
Noelegy – Wow! three Haikus in a row, I still don’t quite ‘get’ the form.
Hon Glad, it’s like this:
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
I’m sure there are other, more formal rules for real Japanese haiku, such as seasonal references, but that’s the bare bones.
I just can’t belive that a kitty is actually using a kitty bed as a kitty bed. I have purchased several beds and cushions that have gone unused. She prefers to sleep in boxes, on crinkly bags, or on my lap (which becomes her preferred bed whenever I sit down). I even had to save a cushion from my old sofa as a sleeping spot for her cause Scout didn’t seem to approve of the new sofa.
One *might* inquire,
how you had the audacity to select an entire SOFA, without
Scout’s pre-approval…….??
After all, just WHOSE residence do you think it IS???
♪ I peel you, Banana, I peel you…
I was half-convinced I’d wakened
Satisfied enough to dream you
Happily I was mistaken… Banana… ♪
Patito – Brilliant one of my favourite songs from Sweeny Todd.
Oh fart! Sweeney
♪ You mock me, banana
You tempt me with your innocence
You tempt with those quivering— ♪
You tempt with those quivering quavers and semi breves
You know my needs, I beg you please ?
While sitting in the bowl, I thought his eyes were going to glow red.
I love Winston! My kitty Puma also loves bananas and cries for them. I once had a Siamese who adored asparagus. You never know with cats! I love them all!!
omfg. i want this cat. that is the cutest thing ever.
meow, my nanas!
Winston in a banana hammock?!
Or budgie smugglers.
I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one thinking that.
While we’re on the subject of Winston and Maru, I’m wondering why we have a link to Winston’s site but not to Maru’s.
Hi brinnann…
The human associated with Winston-san speaks and writes English, while the human associated with Maru speaks/ writes primarily in Japanese and occ in a quasi Japanese/English …. thus I would presume that Meg & co. have been able to communicate and get approval from Winston’s staff pretty easily ….
Oh Weeenston, how I have meeeest thee!
For those not yet enamored with Winston: To know one smooshie-faced cat is to love them all. Ever since I had the priveledge of sharing a home with Isabella (RIP sweet Princess) I melt at the sight of any smooshed-face kitty. I love Maru, but Winston absolutely melts me.
Once in love with Winston, always in love with Winston,
Ever and ever fascinated by him, sets your heart afire to stay….
Amy R………Ever and ever fascinated by him, sets your heart afire to stay….
Beautiful.
‘xcuse me, but I sent you guys (CO) this link a few days a go, and I get NO Winston props? Feeling so neglected.
I’m taking my bananas and going home.
poor marmar
(patting you on the back)
That is the theme music from the last scene in the first Friday the 13th, isn’t it. Right before she gets snatched right out of that boat.
these photos of winston make great wallpapiere for my computer desktop.
squeeeee! thanks winston! for making my monday a little brighter.
That is….Sheriff Winston?
