> [@MOIDALIZE](#): > > Because I don’t know what the hell just [came out of my sink faucet.](http://i.imgur.com/JiAaT.jpg) The blockage doesn’t look that big. A plunger ought to force it down pretty quickly. Any residual hair clogs might require Drano, but I don’t think you’ll need to pay to call out a plumber. ---

It looks like you have a pretty standard feline blockage there. A good thick snake ought to be able to eat through that problem in no time at all. ---
