Um, I think we might have new category potench...
...Something like "Hot Guys Bathing Kittehs" or something. Please check out Internet Superstar Winston, getting 1.5 cups of warm water poured on him at a time. Plus sudsing and incessant meowing action.
No one sent this in, I was just watching Winston again and browsin'.

Hi Meg, so glad you like Winston :)
Winston is his own category! Personality plus.
Love the clip where he takes on a protein shake. My dogs are the same way with yogurt.
Poor winston. His meows sound like "Whyyyyy?"
and the snorgling at the end was priceless. "Daaaaaddyyyyy.... don't you LOVE MEEEEEE???" *cling*
Wow this is probably the earlier comment i've ever posted!
Aww, the poor, unhappy thing!
Winston seems miserable.
HEhehe The trust of the owner guy to have the bare leg in the tub. I kept waiting for dsaster when I saw it earlier today. Winston practially needs his own CO category. What with the mashed potato video too.
Guys bathing kittens is hot! I too waited for the flailing claws to commence and that guys bare leg getting shredded. Winston was a great sport as far as bathing cats go. Very cute.

Why wasn't the bathtub plugged? it's such a waste of water and some cats dislike the sound of running water.
Anya- agreed! That is one of the mellower cat baths I've ever seen :)
:O If I did that with one of my cats I would probably have to call an ambulance afterwards... might this kitty be declawed or is it just very well behaved?
Please no more Winston. He is cute and all but it gets old. Sorry guys!

MMMmmm don't you just wish? I love vocal cats. You can teach them to say stuff. They pick up "NO" real quick. :) I think he has a cute meow.
I dunno, think the category should be "Hot humans with ugly anipals" if anything ;)
Okay, when the guy kisses Winston after the bath is over I about died from the cute. awwwwww.
Winston is cute he must be used to getting baths because he does much better than my guys do.
Winston is fun to watch
Teehee. Winston vs Teh Baff.
Definitely cute. Even when he's all indignant.
1. Cats hate water, therefore bathing cats is cruel and unnatural. They hate to be brushed too, so don't brush them. I know this because I hate grooming and I haven't bathed in years. Okay, so I have some kind of weird crust forming in the mats of my hair, but they should go away once I shed my hair naturally.
2. If you must groom your cat, why would you waste water by bathing only one cat? Plug the drain and bathe at least four or five at a time. Don't you know there are people living way out in the desert that don't have water? Then, please promise to use the cat bath water to brush your teeth later. Conserve! Conserve!
3. Winston is not cute. You must only post what I personally feel is cute on your blog, which is photographs of my nephew who still nurses and wears diapers at the age of 3.5. You can't tell me that's not cute! Shall I send some photos?
Awwwww I am fully in support of Hot Guys Bathing Kittehs! That was incredibly cute, I too loved the kisses at the end. I could not beleive Winston was so skinny when the lovely washing man (with tattoos and a nice gentle touch!) rinsed him down - his little mews were so heart rending..!
That is an adorable kitty. So patient, even in the midst of disastahhh!! He HAD to have been declawed.
He has a really sweet meow. Awww. And I love guys who love kitties.
There is no way I would survive that with my cats! I have to wrap a little piece of masking tape around their paws when bathing to protect myself. Thank goodness it doesn't have to happen often or I'd be permanently damaged!
I think you have a new category, Meg! Meowing Winston is hilarious as he tries to escape the bath, then adorable as he intermittently tolerates it. And what a cute guy, all tender as he bathes his kitty, checks for residual shampoo, squeezes out excess water, bundles Winston in a towel, and kisses the relieved cat.
Hot TATTOOED guys bathing kittehs.
It amazes me to see how tiny furry critters are once you wet down that fur. Tiny fluffy Winston. :)
I almost died of cute, too. I couldn't decide who was cuter, the guy or Winston. We need more of these videos!
I also loved seeing what a skinny little sausage Winston is under all that puffy fur! I've only ever washed cats when instructed to by the vet, but NONE of them took it as well as he does.
Maybe it's the 1.5 cups of warm water at a time that does the trick.
Mr. Kitty (yeah, I already commented about him trying to conquer the world with Winston) never took much care in bathing himself until I put him in the tub one day. He's decided it's worth keeping himself unmatted since then.
And hot guys bathing kittehs? Ooooh, yeah...I'm there.
What a gentle, loving cat-daddy that hot tattooed guy is!
Boy Mermaid...teehee...My cats are growing weary with the Winston clips. All that mewing!
I don't know, perhaps the category might be better called "Cute or Imminent Disaster?" I was stunned at how well behaved that poor miserable damp kitty was. Kept waiting for the cute-guy bloodshed.
Wet or dry, Winston is precious, and the daddy is very sweet to him. And I don't want to sound like a nuff. But I still do not understand why people put their poor kitties through this bathing thing. Unless a cat is a show cat or one who has gotten into something nasty (or not gotten out of the litter box quite clean,a s sometimes happens), then there is no reason to bathe a cat, and doing so is very hard on them. All you have to do is look at the fear in their eyes, listen to their yowlings, and wath how they contort to get away to knwo that this is not a pleasant experience for them. Some few cats get a kick out of water, sure, like that anerable black kitteh baby smack-playing with the water in the bathtub in one video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdlvNX3xscE
But most cats do not want to be bathed, and I see no reason to put them through it unless they are actually grunged up for some reason--or unless they are show cats, who must put up with all sorts of indignities.
I'll have one of Hot Guy (whose name we should really find out and praise), and one of Winston, s'il vous plaît. Merci.
I LOVE how, when the bath's finished and HG wraps him in a towel, Winston is immediately all nuzzley. Awww.
This is not cute or funny to me.
TORTURING A DECLAWED CAT!!!
Persians and other long-haired cats do need to be bathed every week to couple weeks, in order to keep their coat in order. Otherwise the coat gets mat and the cat get hairballs.
Winston is a trooper, and his owner needs to let us know if he's available. ;-)
For all of you who say cats hate water..not true. My sister has two cats that love water They go into the shower, and she has to keep the bathroom door closed because they'd live in the tub. Same goes for the potty. The lid must be put down or the cats will get into it.
Another thing...we used to have a Maine Coon cat, and she was not a clean cat, and needed baths occasionaly. We did not feel we were torturing her, we were keeping her clean.
You're terrifying your cat.
Dewd, if you're going to bathe a cat, don't just dunk it in running water. Turn off the water. Have a little bit of warm water in the tub before you even bring the cat in the bathroom. Sluice the water gently over the cat, use only a little bit of shampoo, and then rinse with clean water already set aside.
I love the shift between "This is humiliatinz" and "I'm a queen!" when the kitteh realizes 10 minutes after bath how clean she is. They never remember that part when you try to submerge them again.
Tblue, my cat gets all dandery and sheds like a maniac if she isn't washed. I wash her because I has to breathe which I think is an even better reason than show cat.
Re: Declawing:
What, have we forgotten about the existence of SoftPaws already?
Or, you know, straightforward claw-trimming.
Heh. Winston.
Pleeeeezzzeeee more hot guys taking care of their pets! That kiss on Winston's head at the end of the bath melted me. Men who love pets ROCK!
Found in translation....
Hot guy: "Good boy."
Winston: "Meow = Whatever!"
Hot guy: "It's ok."
Winston: "MEOW = F**K YOU!"
The thought of trying to hold my cat with one hand makes my shoulder ache... Too fat.
My kitty just stopped in his tracks when he heard Winston meowing. He was all worried. You can't really explain to a cat this is something you saw on CuteOverload.
Winston was a great sport and I love to see men get all mushy and sweet with animals. Too cute! Love the new catagory! Looking forward to a lot more! LOL.
Sometimes a bath is just necessary. When I had a boyfriend with cat allergies we used to bathe the cats once a week to cut down on the allergens. Last night Yeti had an unpleasant litterbox incident and the resulting mess was NOT something she could handle on her own (and her attempt to make things better by doing that butt-on-the-floor-scoot move was not helping!). So I ended up in the shower with her and then afterward she let me blowdry her for the first time ever. She was adorable after she decided she liked the low setting. She sat in a chair and groomed herself while I aimed the dryer at different parts of her. If she had a thought bubble it would have said, "Oooohh...warm Caribbean breeze...!"
Firstly, that man is DELIGHTFUL. Secondly, I don't think it's particularly cruel to wash a cat if they need it. They may not like it much at the time but they're better off for it afterwards and I wouldn't exactly call it "torture"! It's far better that they're clean and healthy and have to go through just a few little minutes of being wet. Besides, if that guy was washing me, I'd have no complaints...
No matter what one's opinion of bathing cats may be, it's undeniable that this man loves his cat and really knows his stuff about handling cats. The best part of the video is the kiss and snuggle at the end.
AAAAWWWWW!!! What a loving kitty-daddy!
Ya know, if you put a towel on the bottom of the tub, it helps the kitty not slip around during the bath and feel a bit safer. :)
Winston translation: "O how I have been betrayed. I shall flay you in your sleep. Damn, no claws."
Even for a very small cat, he was rather manageable, the one time that anyone tried to wash my cat, I think they ended up with severe blood loss.
Jennifer: Sorry to disappoint you and the rest of the drooling chicas, but I think the owner is (very) gay.
