Six Cats Under Sink Puzzle - Full Solution and Fix

The exact Six Cats Under sink puzzle order — pink mouse, bird towel, lion channel, water — and why the mouse stops responding if you skip a step.

This is the puzzle that stops most runs: the kitchen sink only fills when four small actions land in the right sequence, and one missing TV channel silently disables everything else. The fix below is the exact click order, plus what each piece is for.

What do you need before touching the sink?

You need the TV remote first — without it there is no way to change channels, and the channel change is the trigger. The remote comes out of the sofa in the living room, and everything else you need is already sitting in the kitchen waiting to be clicked.

Piece you need Where it comes from
TV remote Spoc claws it out of the sofa when the shelf fan blows the houseplant
TV turned on Pick up the remote (it looks like a small wooden block) and switch the TV on
Pink mouse toy Squeaks when clicked — it lives on the kitchen counter
Bird towel Hangs beside the sink; Geoffrey brushes it in

What is the exact click order?

  1. Click the pink mouse toy on the counter — it squeaks and frightens Geoffrey.

Why does the pink mouse toy do nothing?

Because a condition is missing, not because the toy is broken. The squeak alone only startles Geoffrey — it takes the lion channel on TV, the towel lying in the sink and the water in the right stage to walk him up onto the kitchen counter. Re-check the TV screen first: if it is still showing the cake baking channel, flip it and repeat from step 4.

What happens after the sink fills?

Geoffrey climbs onto the counter right beside the fish tank — the exact position the next puzzle needs. From there the chain runs straight into unlocking the fish food and feeding the goldfish. If you are following the run page by page, you are now at step 5 of the walkthrough, and the only thing left afterwards is getting Frederick off the fridge.
