Obviously Winston loves bananas. It's gotten to the point where he's protective of them. Proof above.
Also, if it ever gets to the point where Winston ceases to entertain me, that's when I'll know I'm dead.
(The music comes from the denoumount of Friday the 13th, btw. I didn't want to put that directly under the video, though. Everyone hates an Internet-video spoiler!)
Yeah it looks like he thinks you're about to eat one, so he starts mooching.

Even Winston needs his po-cat-ssium.
OK I'll never be as good as you. OK I'll never come close.
That was the most enjoyable thing I've seen for an age. I swear my face almost broke from laughter & de-lite. I'm very cereal.

It's finally come to me. I know who Winston reminds me of.
Mr. freakin' Belvedere. He's amazing.

Good grief, how long did it take you to film all of that or did you just torture him multiple times over the course of a day? Actually, it looks like you did actually film this over time as I see the banana in different stages of spottiness.
(also, I assume he probably got nanners in his piehole for most if not all takes so perhaps "torture" is not the proper word choice.)

I love his "wide-awake" expression at the 1:38 mark!

What are his feelings regarding mangos?

AAAHHHHHH I CRIED. I've been watching too much lost.

Winston grieves over the fate of his banana buddies. "Why? Whyyyyy?"
"And... gimme a bite."

I stumbled upon your blog. Your cat is the bee's knees!
And Sifl and Olly Rule!

My Persian also has a crazy-ass voice like Winston's. Ain't no thang.

Wow. Every cat I've had hates bananas. In fact, every single one, upon smelling a banana, would draw back and smush up their face to look JUST LIKE WINSTON.
One of my cats is a cord chewer- one of the best ways to keep him away from something that is plugged in is to drape a banana peel over the cord.

He looks so sweet curled up in that bowl...I don't think he's protecting the bananas so much as worried you will eat one and will forget to share with him!

Cant Believe That Its Protecting The bananas...

I love how you can't put your fruit in what would normally be a fruit bowl.
Posted by: Alison | May 19, 2010 at 02:43 PM
This really should have background music of "Good Lovin'
Miss Easton, if you nasty... Amazing all around.

Posted by: melissa | May 23, 2010 at 12:44 AM
Even the gross old black banana! Poor little guy just doesn't know how to say goodbye.
Posted by: Melodie | May 29, 2010 at 02:28 AM
I want a Winston in a bowl too! Is that a favorite place of his, or does he only like to hang there when bananas are about? He's so funny!
Posted by: Melinda | May 30, 2010 at 03:05 PM
I still have tears running down my face here. omg. that is the funniest thing I have ever seen. <3 Winston.
Posted by: dagny | June 08, 2010 at 02:54 PM
Hahaha, can't tell if he's upset you took the banana or if he's been waiting for one for a while.
