One of my cats has taken to sitting on top of my 5620 terminal
while it is running.  I think she likes the warm air blowing
out of the ducts on top of the terminal.

Question: will the cat block the vents enough to damage the
terminal, or will enough air sift through her fur to allow
reasonable cooling?  If it helps, the fan in the terminal
does not change speed between cat on and cat off.

I think you will find that your cat gets much better cooling if she
stands over the vents, rather than lies on them.  The former postion
permits much more of her surface area to be exposed to the air flow.

(Sorry I couldn't resist this one)
