If you have a cat...? poll

[jewellsmommy]

Just wondering.

 

 

I found my cat sleeping in the bathroom sink. So I brushed my teeth in the bathtub. I didn't want to take my stuff downstairs. Dh came upstairs and he made the sweet kitty move. He is a cat person but said that the cat had a million other places to sleep so he didn't need a sink too.  :lol:

 

So if you have a cat or ever had a cat, answer the poll. If you never had a cat there is an option for you too.

I would run for my camera. In the process of trying to get a cute picture my cat would jump out of the sink. Then I would wash the sink out and brush my teeth.

[maize]

I would brush my teeth elsewhere, but maybe pull out a camera to get a picture first 😊

This is what I would probably do.  We have plenty of other sinks in the house.  No need to interrupt a nap.  :)

Isn't that always the way it happens? It's like they know when you are getting the camera out.

I have a cat that loves our master bath sink. I usually just turn the spout on a little dribble. She moves. She doesn't seem to hold it against me, still cuddles with me enough to be super annoying.

[jewellsmommy]

We have 3 cats. This cat is actually my water lover. If you do not get him out of the bathroom before you get in the shower, he joins you. He's a weird cat.

[Sahamamama]

It would depend on how tired I am, how cute the cat is, and whether or not the kids are using the other sink upstairs. I would not go downstairs, though. The cat could go out of the sink before I'd go back downstairs.

 

But, sigh, your post really makes me miss my most recent cat. I loved you, Lucky Boy. I miss you.

[Cinder]

I would move the cat. Our current cat rarely sleeps in the sink. He does love licking up water from the sink or tub, though, and sometimes will wait outside the bathroom door for the person to be done with their shower. Then he slinks in guiltily to enjoy his drink. But if he sees anyone watching him he'll run away.

awww, I'm sorry you've lost a sweet kitty. :crying:

Our current cat doesn't sleep in sinks, but I've had cats who did. I always just went took my toothbrush and went to the other bathroom.

[Guest]

Other - I use the other sink (same bathroom) ;)

[Guest]

I've had cats for most of my life and am currently watching my grandkitten. I'd use the bathtub, toilet, or a cup for my teeth and if it was dgk I'd probably snap a picture and think it was cute.

[dbmamaz]

honestly, our master bath has a double sink, so i'd just have to use hubby's sink, no big deal

[PinkyandtheBrains.]

My cat always perks up when I walk into the bathroom while she is sleeping in the sink so I voted other. She loves when the water is on, she knows I come to turn it on for her to drink...brushing my teeth is just secondary.

[Starr]

Ds says you turn on the water with the camera running.  :lol:

 

In reality he would brush his teeth somewhere else.

[Hypatia.]

I move her (every morning), she always comes back.  

[mommymilkies]

 I have five cats, and only one does this on occasion.  I either go to another sink or pick her up and carry her while I brush my teeth, and then take her to bed. :D

[DragonFaerie]

My kitties don't sleep in the sink.  They aren't allowed on counters or tables in my house.  If my backside doesn't go there, neither does theirs. :D

[GailV]

Other -- we have a double sink.

[BarbecueMom]

Take a picture, then use another sink. Mine don't do that, but I did catch one of them doing a keg stand in an open toilet yesterday. The other cat was standing nearby looking shifty. We call him Worst Lookout Cat Ever.

[lmrich]

Take a picture and get the kids. The cat would, of course move, before I got a picture.

Where is the "turn the water on and laugh my head off"  option?????

[creekland]

Ours don't sleep in sinks, but if one did, yes, we'd go for the camera.  Then I'd use the kitchen sink downstairs.

 

However, when they are in my chair sleeping, they get moved.  Many times they'll share, but I prefer when I have the bottom and they have the top.

 

Loved hearing about the shower kitty!  I'll admit I've never heard of one of those before.  We've had plenty who insisted upon being lap kitties or shadow kitties (including in the bathroom), but we've never had any insist on joining in the shower.

[VaKim]

How about twins?  :) And notice, they even drug the hand towel down to make the sink more comfy.  :001_rolleyes:

I love my cats and they love me too....but I couldnot resist the temptation of turning on the faucet. Just couldn't! ðŸ˜

[emzhengjiu]

During the summer, one of my cats sleeps in the bathroom sink almost every night.  I had to gently push him out this morning.  We only have one bathroom; he has to share!

[Pawz4me]

Other -- We have double sinks in both full bathrooms, and one half bath.  So plenty of sinks to choose from.

 

I feel compelled to post a "just in case" PSA here -- If you have a cat who doesn't normally hang around sinks and starts doing so, keep an eye on urination.  For whatever strange reason, some cats who have UTIs will seek out the cool, ceramic surface of sinks and tubs to do their business.

 I would have to let these sleeping sweeties alone.  Too cute!

[swellmomma]

I'd take a picture, give a little chin scratch and then start the water very slowly and step back to avoid the coming moment of kitty claws flying.  We only have 1 bathroom and therefore 1 sink for brushing teeth so kitty must go.  Now that said if it was my youngest kitten I would lift her out, but the older 2 would have me laughing at their dash out of the sink when they realize the trickle of water is there.  Though given my littlest kitty just jumped on my back and climbed it like a tree trunk and I am sure I am bleeding from multiple spots not, I might let her get the water too.

We used to have a kitty that would only drink cool running water, so she would run from me to teh sink meowing when she was thirsty letting me know to turn it on.  My current 3 prefer to use the toilet bowl.  Th dogs always have their faces in the water dishes in the kitchen and all 3 kitties don't like that and have started drinking the toilet water.  They don't like when water is running usually, but Willow my middle one likes to sit on the side of the tub and visit with you if you try to soak in the tub

[Parrothead]

I'd move whichever one it is in the sink.

[stephanier.1765]

All I have to do is start preparing my toothbrush and the kitty will relocate himself. Usually he just moves to the windowsill which is next to the sink, waits for me to finish, and then continues his nap in the wet sink.  :huh:

[Rosyl]

I love cats, BUT they can move.

 

Usually, when my cat is sleeping somewhere she will wake up when she hears noise and leave.
