Nine convenience properties for topological categories are defined in terms of certain types of epi-sinks being preserved under certain types of pullbacks. One of the properties is Cartesian closure, and the strongest corresponds to the concrete quasitopoi of \textit{E. J. Dubuc} [Applications of sheaves, Proc. Res. Symp., Durham 1977, Lect. Notes Math. 753, 239-254 (1979; Zbl 0423.18006)]. With respect to seven of the properties, every non-trivial topological subcategory of TOP is as convenient or inconvenient as TOP itself. For these subcategories, the other two properties are equivalent to Cartesian closure. An interesting deficiency of all Cartesian closed topological subcategories of TOP is exhibited.
