Below is a little slice of Winston's life. It's also the story of my life. I know that this may somewhat undermine his cuteness (or his cute-ugliness), but whatever. The truth needs to be said: I live with a brat.
(Download)
Winston mostly cries like this when he's hungry, i.e. ALWAYS. But you know what the best thing about this video is? When I was putting it together, Winston was attempting to sleep next to me on the couch, but he kept waking up, hearing his own crying and the pre-meal sounds present in the clips I was editing. Ha! Now he knows how annoying he is. I mean, I'm sure he forgot immediately, but the moment of justice was worth it.
OMG, Winston's Totoroness just kills me!

He looks like Sara with those crazy tics!
Still adorable, though.

Oh. my. GOODNESS!
I feel if I lived with it, that may undermine his cuteness, but since I don't ... it just seems adorable! From the violent repetitive sneezes to the crazy-long string of meows in the hallway, even to his emo-ness at the end. .. Oh, Winston.
PS, Rich, in case no one has mentioned it to you lately, you're so fantastic. =)

Winnie even SNEEZES cute!

His mouth opens up like a marionette! Like someone's pulling a little Winny string!
I'm going to have to play this for Phoebe tonight when I get home. She's a loud little bugger (likes to "chat") and this will probably freak her the eff out.

(Fave bit: the purr rumble as he necks out towards a hunk of cheese.)

my cats came running in the room while I was listening to that and started to search the place for the cat making that noise.

Aww...that made me smile.
If I had to hear it every day I'd probably develop some sort of tick (ala Winston's sneezing)...but I don't, so I just think it's fucking cute.
I've decided that all cats are brats though. My friend adopted two about 4 months ago, and they already own everything in her apartment. She's just their live-in chef/servant...

My cat does the same thing...but he's definitely not as cute as Winston.

Oh man, I never liked cats until Winston came around.

Let's not forget the whiny needy baby meows in the middle of the night, to see if you still love him while you're sleeping. Or the crazy howling string of meows because he spotted another cat in the darkness and had to come screaming into the bedroom to tell you about it.
Oh, that was MY cat.

Thanks, Rich! With almost everyone out of the office observing the new year I needed some entertainment.

How is it that I'm making this exact same video with my cat at the exact same time? It can only mean we have the same brain.

DUDES! He looks like the guy in the book "The Five Chinese Brothers" .. the one who could swallow the sea.. when he has the sea all stuffed in his cheeks.
HAHHAHA

Ungggg...
I can't get enough of that wonderful stuff!

Wow, winston's meow is annoying, kinda like scratchy sounding or something! The sneezes were soooooo cute though and the part in the hall where he kept going and going. He really doesnt get tired, does he? ;o
Posted by: amy | September 13, 2007 at 01:40 PM
SarahD - I have THREE who ALL do that LOL!
I don't think this undermines the cuteness at ALL. All that personality just makes 'em CUTER ;)
One of mine was the runt of the litter, host of health problems all her life - one of them is she cna't meow properly (or at all as a kitten.) As a result, her meows are more high pitched honks than meows.
AAAAAAAA-dorable. :)
PS - RUDY!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to get that in....lol

I love kitties, but my ears are bleeding now.
I still love your kitty. He is cute, esp. when he sneezes.

Winston IS the guy from The Five Chinese Brothers who could swallow the sea. Check it out Rich!
Posted by: Leanne | September 13, 2007 at 02:04 PM
my cats came running over too! I wonder if Winston is aware of his celebrity status and in cat language, he's calling together cats everywhere to hatch some evil plan...
Posted by: Corinne | September 13, 2007 at 02:06 PM
Winston looks like a barn owl!!!!
Posted by: Nora | September 13, 2007 at 02:50 PM
I STILL want to eat his head.
I about cried with laughter during his sneezing fit.
Posted by: n | September 13, 2007 at 02:54 PM
Winston is amazing. I think this is my favorite video yet.
Posted by: Mark O. | September 13, 2007 at 03:03 PM
My favorite part was when he rimmed Rudy.
