Unusual sink clog

Post by **Ysabel Kid** » Thu Dec 20, 2012 7:39 pm

The kids called me up from working in the basement to complain about an usual clog in the sink in the downstairs water closet. Ever run into one of these?

Knowing this crowd, I'm afraid to ask how you all would handle this!

Stripes, our cat, was wholely unimpressed when I asked him to move!

I would just turn on the water.

I have had those before, just wait; it will rectify itself.

Yep, we've had the same clog. And with the same colored cat

He just loved to crash out in the sink. We just left him alone and used another sink.

I think turning on the water coupled with screaming like a little girl at the top of your lungs would clear it out for a long time.

Kid,
Cats and dogs bring so much happiness to a household that I could not imagine life otherwise.

BTW, you guys sure are clean.

Our sinks have soap smudges on the handles. Gun rags sometimes cover the sinks and the backs of the toilet.---------Sixgun

Have someone pet/distract the cat while you hook the garden hose up to the water trap/drain pipe. Then stand back, turn on the hose, and take a video of what happens.

i don't know...that second photo has that, "you'll loose an arm if you force me to move" look...i'd let him be, life is too short to live with a angry cat, or an angry woman for that matter... :)
