Turn on the faucet. They love that!

This is why my brother isn’t allowed to have pets any more.
That’s a perfect day even if you’re not a cat.
No? Nobody else? Ah well…
I’m sorry, but those wide-open eyes do not imply nap to me.
That’s good, but my cat prefers taking a nap, on a cushion, in front of a warm blowing vent, chin on a catnip squirrel. If it’s just right, he’ll grunt while he sleeps.
Dude, I don’t like cleaning my own hairs out of the bathroom sink.
Are you sure he’s not saying “Once I’ve tamed the washcloth then I’ll get onto cleaning this sink. Don’t expect me to hurry.”
Kerry: To me those wide eyes implies wacked-out-on-cat nip-crazy-cat. Stay away!
Y’know, it’s the darndest thing, but in that picture he sorta looks like you, John. That might explain why you two bonded so fast.
Actually, he kinda has a guilty look on that furry face.
“Yup, I sure picked the right house to show up at.”
Oddly enough, there is a website named “Cats in Sinks” devoted to these pictures. What do cats know that we don’t?
Funny, that’s exactly how I spent my day.
Feels like it, anyway. Ugh.
Is this the kitty version of sleeping near the toilet after a binge?

Make the sink a tropical beach and the catnip a margarita and I’m your pussy cat.
Good GOD it’s so damned true!!
My perfect kitty day is: Wandering around in a very large open field filled with tall grass and flowers, stalking and pounding on birds or other types of small prey. After a long day of toying with the live play toys, is over getting rewarded from my human for bringing home my kill/wounded toy. Once, properly rewarded stretch out on a big comfortable pillow for a nap…
That is such a sweet face. Thank you for taking him in.
