She's likely trying to cool herself. Mine does the same in summer, but in the bathroom sink. Picture related:

perhaps! it's midwinter on my side of the globe though, i don't think she'd be overheating?

she's been sleeping on my laptop for its warmth basically every day

I'm also from the southern hemisphere. The kitty that I've posted does this mostly in December and January; these days she has been burying herself in the blankets instead, except through the veranico*.

It's also possible that your kitty decided that the sink is "her" place, a bit out of habit. Or that she's attracted by the smell of food, as you've said.

*dunno the English name, it's the few winter days that are almost summer-like, usually around July. Oddity of my city.
