991.0. "Sink Kitties" by MED::SECRETARY (What's snew?) Tue Dec 29 1987 15:02

    Does anyone else's cat sleep in the bathroom sink??
    
    I came downstairs this AM to a funny sight...Carrington, in his
    hugeness, curled up in and overflowing the oval (cat-shaped) sink!

991.1aren't they cute, though?NRADM5::CONGERTue Dec 29 1987 15:3810
    
    
    	Cricket doesn't sleep in the sink, but if you turn the water
    on to just a trickle, she will play with it for hours. She tries
    to bite it, and catch it with her paw, always managing to get drenched
    in the process. If the water slows to a drip, she will try to catch
    every single drip, or she'll look down the drain to see where the
    water goes and end up getting dripped on the back of her head. It's
    pretty cute to watch, but Rosie (the other cat) thinks she's crazy....
    
991.2In the tubFIDDLE::HTAYLORFight malnutrition, GIMME CHOCOLATE!Tue Dec 29 1987 17:1717
    Tabbatha and Silver just found the Tub today.  I was in the bathroom
    getting ready for work and Tabbatha came strolling in like she
    normally does.  She spotted the Tub and decided to investigate.  She 
    jumped up on the side and thought it looked pretty interesting, so 
    she jumped in.  She got her paw a bit wet but didn't mind too much, 
    she just shook it dry.  She was playing with the soap and the drain 
    and having a great time!  Then she decided that Silver shouldn't miss 
    out on this.  She went to go and get silver and a few minutes later, 
    both of them were in the bathroom with me.  Tabbatha was in the
    tub looking at Silver and Silver just had her paws up on the edge.
    she wasn't quite sure whether she should get in or not.  She finally
    decided that she shouldn't and just walked away.  Tabbatha got up
    on the edge of the tub and just looked at her as if to say, "Hey,
    Where are you going?  Ya wanna play?" and she jumped down and ran
    after Silver.  They looked so CUTE!!

991.3How much is that Himmy in the bathtub?CLUSTA::TAMIRTo a cat, all things belong to catsWed Dec 30 1987 11:5814
    When Honey, my 5-year-old Himmy was smaller, he used to sleep in
    the bathroom sink.  Chauncey also did, and occasionally still does.
    But now that it's gotten colder, both prefer the down comforter.
    
    Two of my nephew-cats (both Himmies) also have a 'thing' for the
    sink, and the tub!
    
    Maybe it has something to do with Himalayan genes....
    
    Mary
    
    P.S.  Speaking of their genes...a friend once told me (referring
    to her own seal point) "God realized He forgot to put the brains
    in, so He made the ears brown".
991.4Don't Turn on the Water!DPDMAI::BALLI AM standing up!Wed Dec 30 1987 12:5210
    The bathroom sink is Corkie's favorite place in the summer.  She
    seems to love the coolness of the marble.  She knows when the weather
    is getting cold though and then takes up the place in front of the
    fireplace.  There was one time that I thought the apartment people
    had let her out cause she didn't greet me at the door one day and
    I called and looked and called and no Corkie.  Just when I was fixin
    to get hysterical I went into the bathroom, and there was my baby,
    lookin as sweet as you please, laying in the sink.  Cracked me up!

991.5sinking at the sinkSNOWY::ARMESSat Jan 02 1988 13:5912
    
    "C.P." does not sleep or play in the sink but tends to sink his teeth
    into my pubic hair and give a tug while I am shaving after my shower.
    He also likes to stay between the inner and outer shower curtain
    while I am showering. I won't go into details about his behaviour
    when I use the toilet (use your imagination). He won't let me close
    the door and keep him out (Typical Siamese howling) so I tolerate
    his antics.
    
    "C.P." stands for "CAT PERSON" mostly Siamese part Himmy" Furr Face

    Lightning likes to play and drink from the faucet in the bathroom
    sink.  Deja just likes to lay curled up in the sink looking adorable.
    Deja also has found the tub.  She likes to attack me from between
    the shower curtains.                                       
    
    Aren't cats the most adorable, loving, amusing animals in the whole
    world?.

991.7The SliderAWARD2::HARMONMon Jan 04 1988 16:1310
    An apartment I once had, had an old fashioned bathtub (the kind
    with the feet).  Well, Schnitzel loved to sit on the edge while
    I took a bath, then watch the water drain out.  After I rinsed out
    the tub, Schnitz would slide down the side, sit there with a grin
    on her face, jump out and do it all over again!!  This morning she
    was wandering around the shower, turned and looked at me as if to
    say "I liked the bathtub better!".

991.8how cute is cuteMTBLUE::SPRINGER_JANFri Apr 29 1988 13:168
    A friend has a cat that plays with the water a lot too. He likes
    to let it drip on his head mostly, but will play for hours with it.
    
    My cat will only drink from the bathroom sink. She has her own 
    water bowl of course but doesn't use it. She doesn't like the tub
    much because too much water comes out of the faucet. I once caught
    her taking a leak in the bathroom sink when I first got her. To
    my knowledge this bad habbit has been dropped.
