Most cats love to think they’re so suave, but underneath their sleek bodies and steely glares are some of the silliest critters you’ll ever meet. Just ask anyone with a feline furbaby and they can tell you countless stories about their cutie’s high jinks around the house. One of the most common yet strange habits cats adopt is hanging out in the bathroom sink.

You’d think they’d want to steer clear of something that could so easily drench them in offensive water at a moment’s notice, but some cats just can’t seem to stay away. It could be because they feel the need to cool down surrounded by all the porcelain, or maybe your sink just happens to be the perfect shape for their bendy little body to curl up inside. Whatever the case may be, no cat owner should be surprised to walk into their bathroom and find their feline friend enjoying an afternoon nap under the faucet. 

Take a look below for some of the cutest examples of just how often cats like to sneak their way into the bathroom sink!

    This cat thought she had found the most super-secret, never-to-be-found hiding spot and cannot fathom how anyone could be smart enough to locate her.

    Step 1: Clean out all of the shedded fur this beautiful cat left in your sink last time she hunkered down.

    Step 2: Turn around and find her right back in said sink.

    Wow, looks like someone didn't even bother knocking before disturbing this cutie's personal time.

    This fluffy guy is dreaming of a land where water only pours from sinks when he wants it to — and sometimes it's actually tuna instead.

    This cutie was so close to falling into sweet slumber before someone charged into his resting place unannounced.

    Seeing these precious eyes greeting you when you walk into the bathroom would make you immediately forget what you went in there for in the first place.
