Food is Winston's absolute obsession, and he will stop at nothing to get his hands on it. His family believes it is a habit he picked up while he was a stray living on the streets because he even attempts to eat items that aren't food. His family has come to terms with the fact that he is still fixated on food despite the fact that he now has access to enough of it.
Winston's mother, Emily Tan, told The Dodo that her son "would practically eat his toys (not joking), especially the soft ones," since he is "crazy with food, and just eating in general."
One day, Winton's parents had just finished a bottle of cinnamon and left the empty bottle on the windowsill to be brought out to the recycling bin later. Instead, Winston found it, knocked it into his box and decided that it was officially his new favorite toy.
