Kitchen kittens!
The kittens were doing the dishes. Actually they were indeed cleaning the dishes in the sink, and the hostel kitchen staff loved that, it was less work for them, they just had to rinse the dishes. And the cats loved the free food too (excellent fish dish scraps).
Spotted in a hostel in Borneo.
Bonus points if you can post a comment telling how many kittens are on the photo.
