Isn’t the kitty actually going counter-clockwise? Assuming his feet are at 6 o’clock.

Seriously people, snopes, nasa, Berkeley science review, all are your friends. Cute lol but Coriolis has no effect on your drains.

You should have read the rest of the article (the paragraph directly below the one you quoted):

In reality the Coriolis effect is a few orders of magnitude smaller than various random influences on drain direction, such as the geometry of the container and the direction in which water was initially added to it. Most toilets flush in only one direction, because the toilet water flows into the bowl at an angle.[25] If water shot into the basin from the opposite direction, the water would spin in the opposite direction.[26]

Or if you don’t like snopes, have some NASA:

THe hemisphere you are in has nothing to do with your the direction of your drain.

if kitty was in space, which way would the kitty spin then?

And we awl ar assuming kittehs obey teh laws of fizziks. When has ENNYbuddy gnown a kitteh to do whut it wuz sposeta do! *snerkle*

Owner: Kitteh, yoo are sposesta swurl counterclockwize!

Kitteh (whyle swirling clockwise): Yeah, R-I-T-E!

Owner: Ye cannae change teh laws of fizziks, kitteh!

pea ess
n a very carefully controlled experiment to remove all other forces from the system, rotation could conceivably play a role on scales as small as a bathtub. An article in the British Journal of Fluid Mechanics in the 1930s described an early attempt to do so. A few drops of ink were put into the bathtub water. It was claimed that if one observed when the ink stopped swirling, meaning the viscosity of the water had dissipated its initial vorticity (or curl; i.e.\nabla \times U = 0) then, if the plug was extracted ever so slowly so as not to introduce any additional vorticity, the tub would empty with a counterclockwise swirl in the northern hemisphere.
