And peeing outside their box—particularly somewhere in front of you—may just be them trying to communicate that they're having a problem. Your cat may be experiencing a variety of issues including bladder stones, urinary tract infection, or even cystitis.
Is it normal for cats to pee in the sink?
Most of them are medically benign, and you don't necessarily have to worry about your cat dying from urinating in the sink. Most commonly, cats urinating inappropriately do so because they're displeased with some part of their environment.
Frustration, stress, or anxiety can sometimes cause a cat to change their urinating habits. Any change in their routine, such as a new person in the household or moving house, can lead to changes in urination. They may also “mark” spots in the house with their urine as a means of marking their territory.
