Automoproblems
Last night, I arrived home to find that my car had been broken into and my stereo had been ripped out of it. I immediately thought to grab the camera and start documenting the break-in for a post. Except: boring. And also, it's my own fault since I left the stereo face attached the night before, so I don't deserve the sympathy resulting from such a self-pity post.
Instead, let's find out how Winston feels about it:
That seems about right.
To console me (or maybe himself), he played one of his favorite games: scarf. At first, I wasn't amused . . .
. . . but he's too cute for me to deny his effort.
Our cuddling session was cut short when he got up to investigate something extremely interesting: the wall.
Meanwhile, despite Rudy's love of driving . . .
. . . he was totally unfazed by the robbery. Because he hates me.
The moral of the story is: your pet's tail is no substitute for a seat belt.
Did Rudy play Toonces on SNL? I thought he looked familiar. And Winston? That much cute in one body should be illegal.

You know, my ex-boyfriend's cat hated me for several years then he just snapped out of it. Now he loves me! I think Rudy will snap out of it too and one day will come to love you.

Sorry about your radio! I hate that.
How big is Winston, by the way? The little meow-meow video you posted a few days ago makes him look wee, but he looks kinda big in these photos. Maybe it's just the grown-out fur?

He's fully grown, I think, and probably around 8 lbs. But, from what I understand, Persians tend to be small and he's all kindsa runty, on top of that.
He looks big in the pictures because my head is abnormally small.

I love it when you document Winston and you other cat, whatitsname. I'll get to love him too. :)
You don't look like you've consumed a Chipotle burrito each week. You look awesome.
Thanks for the photos!

You are really good looking! I guess I expected you to be not good looking since you are so funny... I was WRONG! Cute cats. Sorry about the burglary!

Rudy could be dreaming about clawing out the radio theif's eye-balls. I'm sure he doesn't hate you.

I think you should start a fund to buy Winston a chin. That's why he looks so angry!

Yeah, sorry to hear about your break in, that sucks!!!! But at least cutie winston tried to make you feel better. =o)

the combination of cuteness and tragedy in this single post is pretty intense.

Sucks about your car, Bastards! Your cats are cute.

As much as I am trying to comment about my beloved Winston all I can do is gush like a schoolgirl instead: "OMG, you're such a fox!"

Oh God. I embarrassed people into silence. Again.

Haha, in other words: shut up and be pretty.
Michael -- Not embarassed, just quietly flattered.
Thanks to all who enjoy my face.

The picture of Rudy in the car is gorgeous! What a beautiful picture of beautiful cat.

I can't stand the insane cuteness of your cats. I am in LOVE!

Sorry to hear about your car...that really sucks. Hhhmmmm, I seem to have a Winston dependancy problem. I just LOVE him so very much and find myself looking forward to new pics of the living doll. I guess I should not feel alone as there seems to be a growing number of Winny fans just like me. Thank you for the smiles and endless aaahhhhhs that you have brought to me and countless others. Please keep those lovely pics coming.

Ooooh yeah, I forgot to add that I agree with the other folks, your face in the photos is an added bonus ! You are VERY YUMMY to look at as well. Lucky Winston !

Oh my god!! Winston sits on your pillow! My kitty Roli does the same thing, she plays what I call Hat Cat: sleeps on my head/pillow in bed. Way cute! I like your nickname too, scarf :)
