On Wednesday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Parks & Recreation's Nick Offerman guested and Jimmy talked to him about the Cats That Look Like Ron Swanson Tumblr. (Ron Swanson is his P&R character -- I'm telling you this not because I think you are stupid, but because I didn't know it myself and it took me a while to figure out which name was that of the fictional character and which was the actual person. And when I a while, I mean a while. So, basically, I'm telling you because I'm stupid.) Winston has been featured on that blog a few times, and his picture was shown on Kimmel as well. I cued the clip above to the beginning of the Tumblr talk -- Winston should pop up just a few seconds after you press play.
Anyway, regarding the use of Winston's image, I have this to say: IMPROPER CREDIT!!!!!!!!! INTERNET-CITIZEN ARREST!!! SOUND THE ALARMS BECAUSE FOURFOUR IS MAD!!!
Just kidding. That would be stupid. Winston is for everyone. He's e-feral. This is flattering and awesome. I am very proud of my cat for existing. [via Gawker TV]
And now Don Knott's legal team is building their case. I'm sure it's led by THAT lawyer on the "Simpsons".

Yay Winston! The world could always use a little more Winston. Thanks for sharing him, Rich.

That's just so awesome! I love when the internet and TV collide, especially when it's things I love, like Nick, Jimmy and Winston!

Ron Swanson is so sexy, extra so with the beard.
Also, yay Winston.

Winston looks like Ron Fucking Swanson? That is epic news.
You know, Nick Offerman is kind of hot when he's not rocking his Swanson look.

And he was up there longer than those other cats too! Yay, Winston!
Also, I kind of think he looks more like bearded interview Offerman than he does like Offerman as Ron Fucking Swanson.

Winston is the best Ron Swanson look-alike for sure!

Did you guys hear the Winston fan in the crowd? There was a cheer that I am certain was for Winston.
