Why do cats like to sit in sinks so much, anyway? Cool? Contained? Elevated? Maybe all three?

Very cute, at any rate!

It was funny for me because some of the cats really didn't fit in the sinks...

[lol] I have some pictures that belong on that site!!

The one of a cat in a kitchen sink that was my favorite. He was all curled up in just the corner of it and you could see a spoon in the sink with him [lol]

True. One of our cats refuses to admit that she has gotten big, and tries to get into things much too small for her.
Ok, my sister does the same thing.
And one of our cats is a sinker. No cute pictures of her, though, just lots of paw prints in the basin.

Same here. The longer I looked, the more I felt the smile spreading across my face. A great way to start the day. [Big Grin]

I thought that Zane the Insane was the only cat that did that. (He doesn't any more, though--I don't know why.)

Our cat used to sit in our fireplace. We hardly used it, so there was no problem.

Until a few days AFTER we had actually used it. She went in to sit down, but evidently found the one left over hot coal. The speed at which that cat flew out of the fireplace was amazing. [Eek!]

Given the high number of cat lovers on this board, I figured that site would be a hit. [Big Grin]

One of our kitties loves to get in the sink. And under the sink. And the in trash can after we put a new bag in it (which I have pix of-so cute!) And the washing machine. And the dishwasher. Basically several places where its not a good idea for her to be. Silly kitty!

My cat likes to sit in the toilet, or on my FedEx Racing uniform after I have cleaned it.

Yes, thank you for the much needed smile. Occasionally, one of my cats will get in the bathroom sink but only if her bowl is empty. The bathroom sink and bowl are at opposite ends of the house. It was only coincidence that we discovered the connection.

I am sort of shocked at how tidy many of the bath room counters are.

Thenie prefers the bathtub as she likes to sprawl. Scrapper liked to sit in the bathroom basin. Affy used to get in there to hint that she wanted to drink from a running tap.

What about "cats on clothes that you've laid out on the bed". Sometimes I've selected a different outfit rather than wake the cat. Or cats in slippers - a fully grown cat trying to fit herself in my slippers. I think they're trying to freak us out.

Our cat loves to shove her head - just her head - inside our shoes, especially when we've just taken them off.

She's gotten into kitchen cupboards, between the freezer and the wall, inside boxes, inside plastic bags, but nope, no sinks.

Our tortie likes little cubbies for hiding..she found a little slot under an armchair just tall enough for her to squeeze into. She also loves a table that has a little shelf under it, and whenever there is a drawer open on either of the dressers, she's there [Smile] I think if I was a little cat, I'd be squeezing myself into all kinds of little hiding places too!!

DD's male cat likes to stick his head in shoes -- the smellier the better. One time two of my brothers were visiting and doing some work around the house. My brother J, who has famously smelly feet, went to take a shower and left his socks and shoes downstairs. After several minutes of avidly sticking his head into the sweaty smelly shoes, the cat finally started licking the sweaty smelly socks.

Kitty II had the smelly shoes fetish. Thenie is weirder - she likes to roll about on worn underwear. She also likes to like sweaty armpits.
