THE SINK CAT QUIRK
An owner seeks a medical answer for a cat who prefers peeing in the sink, triggering a pricey vet visit and a puzzling, stubborn quirk.
Quirk or problem: sink or litter box?
Be one of the first to vote.
A $110 vet visit ended with one blunt discovery: the cat was not sick, just committed to peeing in the sink.
The poster had taken him in convinced something was wrong. His habit was hard to ignore. Instead of using the litter box like a normal pet, he kept choosing the sink, and that was enough to spark a trip to the vet and a check for a UTI.
The appointment did not uncover an infection. Nothing medical turned up. After the tests, the answer came back simple and strange: there was no problem to fix.
According to the poster, he "just likes peeing in the sink I guess😐"
That was the whole mystery. The vet visit had been about finding out why he kept doing it, and the answer was that he apparently preferred it that way. The sink was not a symptom of illness. It was his thing.
So the money was spent, the UTI concern was ruled out, and the cat went home with his reputation intact and his odd habit unchanged. The poster had gone looking for a diagnosis and found a very expensive confirmation that the animal was, in their words, "just weird."
