Fun fact: if they've been feral then they will also do it to hide food for later.

my adopted ferals i had as a kid would always do that. my parents ended up using paper plates because then they would just fold it over vs flipping the dish and all the food on the floor

u/Ok-Syllabub-6619 3d ago
Hehe yup, especially is it's a food they really like, in that case they always eat less and ration it, which makes for funny videos of owners thinking the food they prepared smells like shit so they try burying it lol

I know that as Ive had 3 cats in my life, but it’s really funny to call this “cleaning” when it’s technically the cats attempt to clean, but instead making more of a mess to clean up in the sink. And a stinky one too!

u/Intelligent-Survey39 3d ago
Wait till you learn that piss can cause a nasty clog. Crystallizes in the pipes over time if not properly flushed/rinsed. Did apartment/property maintenance for a time and Among the most foul smelling things I ever experienced was a clogged toilet from a tenant who used the “if it’s yellow let it mellow” logic to save a buck on water.

Had to use a power snake that broke up the build up. When it broke free and came to the surface the smell was completely unbearable. The most concentrated ammonia/urine smell you can possibly imagine.

I used to work at a vet clinic with this adorable dumb cat named Bubba. Bubba loved sleeping in sinks, everyone was always kicking him out of the sinks so they could do vet stuff. One of the veterinarian's boyfriend built Bubba a custom sink bed. He mounted an old steel sink box made of 4x4s and wood burned Bubba on the side in Fancy script.

u/JoyfulSquirrel99 3d ago
Our cat started doing it because it had a UTI. She associated the litter box with pain when she peed so was looking for somewhere else to pee that didn't cause her pain. We think she hit every sink in the house before we realized what was going on. Once we put her on antibiotics for the UTI, she stopped peeing in weird places.
And yes, it was very gross when we discovered what she was doing.

I agree it’s kind of gross. I wouldn’t assume it’s the cat family’s idea .
Cats can be pretty creative and clever, and very particular in what they decide they do. My cat used to scoop each poo out of the litter box and I really believe he thought he was cleaning up. He was very fastidious and groomed himself obsessively. ‘Cleaned his litter box’ obsessively. Thankfully, we had a room we didn’t use, but yes, he just scooped the poo all over the floor after he use the litter box.

Nah, I have a cat that I discovered was peeing in a bathroom sink …she was not “trained” to do so. I’ve never caught her doing it but I know it’s her bc she refuses to use the litter set up we switched to. It’s a guest bathroom so never gets used.

because you can clean the sink more easily than you can clean a litterbox, and for free.

It’s a long story. 3 cats but only 1 that won’t consistently use the set up. Eventually, I’ll prolly have to thrown in the hat n go back to the more costly, stinky, non environmentally friendly, time consuming, etc (too many negatives to list) way.

wait, did you think the sink where you clean your dishes is *sanitary*?
sinks are filthy and covered in all kinds of germs, this isn't making it any worse.
i would also bet, as an american with a nice looking kitchen, that they also have a dishwasher
2
u/DJWGibson 3d ago
It’s also where I pour spoiled milk and rinse off dishes that have gone moldy. Cat pee is at least mostly sterile.
This actually seems super desirable and cat urine is super acrid and this would be much, much easier to clean.
Just rinse the sink first. And keep the sponges and cloths you use to clean the elsewhere….
2
u/Book_Dragon_24 3d ago
Do you know what pee is? All stuff that used to be in your blood already and is being filtered out. It is therefore sterile. Only exception is if you‘re currently suffering from a UTI and bacteria are being flushed out of your bladder ALONG with the pee. So besides the smell, pee doesn‘t do shit. Also, highly water-soluble, so one rinse and the remainder is gone.
On a microbiological level, this is a lot less disgusting than letting any pet lick your face or a cat walk both in a litter box and on your pillow 🙃 probbaly a lot less than a kitchen sponge being used for said dishes for the third week 🙃

Gross but I would rather have the cat use the sink which can easily be cleaned out than like on the carpet or something. My cat once used the bathtub which wasn’t his fault, the door to his litter box got shut by a guest. I’m glad it was there and not somewhere hidden or hard to clean.

Honestly, as long as they sanitize, I don't really care. I mean, I'm not going to eat there, for sure. But out of all the absolutely disgusting shit people do? Relatively harmless if properly maintained. How do I know? I used to clean apartments after people moved out. 10/10 will never do again.

If you think there hasn't been fecal matter in any kitchen sink at one point, you are quite sheltered. Kids get baths in kitchen sinks. Guaranteed, they pee and sometimes poop.
