Spoiled Maine Coon Cat Sits in the Sink and Completely Overflows
Cats have this thing where they like to sit in places where they definitely don't fit. In fact, if you get them a spot to sit where they actually do fit, they're probably never going to go there. They like to fit very tightly into their spaces.
One Maine Coon has an easier time being too big for most of her sitting spaces than other cats. While another cat might stop at a small box or a basket, she hardly even fits in a whole sink:

The Maine Coonies are three Maine Coons living under one roof, but that's not all: they almost always have at least one foster kitten running around. Their mom owns an animal rescue! She brings home the kittens who need the most help, or at least the most protection.
Nobody is going to mess with a house that has three guardian lions in it... Except for the kittens themselves, of course. The kittens that their mom brings home love to test their patience, and more importantly, they test their new teeth.

The one in this video is Luna, the only female Maine Coon in the bunch. Though she's a female, she's actually the one who spends the least amount of time with the kittens. She's much too busy with her little brothers, who annoy her greatly:

She's fed up. These days, she prefers quiet getaway spots, and apparently, the sink is perfect for that, even if she barely fits. She's the smallest of the three and already spilling out: I wonder what it would look like if her brothers tried this, too!
Why Do Cats Sit In Weird Places?
It's pretty rare that you'll find a cat who's just sitting out in the open on the floor. They're not like dogs! They'd much rather be secluded and curled up somewhere.
Cats will find weird places to sit based on a few factors:
- Warmth: cats like places where they can curl up to conserve body heat.
- Visibility: they're more likely to choose a spot where they can see, but not be seen.
- Height: cats typically seek higher ground.
- Texture: cats like smooth and/or soft surfaces.
For Luna, she probably chose the sink because it's up off the ground, and the smooth, cool ceramic feels nice and keeps her comfortable. It's hot out these days, and she's basically wearing a fur coat!
