There's even a website devoted to it. You should grab your camera and submit. Here's a link in case your cats still napping: http://www.catsinsinks.com/ @Frugal Kiwi, sinks seem to be cat magnets.

Just sitting there in his happy cat semi-dozy place. Weird animal- it is winter, he is a Devon Rex without much fur and stainless steel is cold!

Francesca, my cat is so fuzzy he seeks cool places — like the bathroom sink or the tile floors in the front foyer. Yes, he’s odd on many levels, much like his owner.

And AC — thanks for the reassurance! I didn’t buy him this bowl, but admit that now when I see similar vessels I think, “Hey! I know who’d like this…” and I don’t mean me.

Cat #1 (Cinderella, a.k.a. Cinder, who was named by my then 3-year-old son) found a cardboard box full of old T-shirts in the back of a closet that was her nest. Cat #2, Callie, like a particular spot on the rug of a south-facing room when she was inside, and when she was outside, perched atop some cushions on top of a table in the gazebo. Cat #3 (current resident feline named Johnny Cash, The Cat in Black) likes a wing chair in the living room. Of course, it is upholstered in light fabric, so I've put a big towel on it -- a towel now covered in black fur. I try to remember to remove the towel from the chair before guests arrive.<br/><br/>As for the bowl, no big deal, IMHO, since glazed pottery is easy to wash.<br/><br/>Claire @ http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com The three cats who have succesively lived here in Boulder have found nests in their own particularly places.

Oh, and you’d only be Crazy Cat Lady if you’d actually bought the bowl FOR your cat…

I'd sleep in a saucer, maybe, but not a bowl. Second of all, your cat looks like a stuffed animal in that bottom picture. Is there some clever Photoshopping going on here? (I know there's not, but he does look awfully boneless.) Third of all, I have a dog who sheds everywhere. So pretty much every fiber of matter in my house has some remnant of pug in it. Dana would have a heart attack. First of all, that looks terribly uncomfortable. I’d sleep in a saucer, maybe, but not a bowl.

I would go balistic if one of my pets was near the dishes that we use for food. And yes, since you ask, I do have Felix Unger tendancies.<br/><br/>Very nice bowl btw.
