I'd be a little bit worried if my cat wanted to live atop my monitor --- 1. What if the cat ever urinated? Cooked kitty! 2. The high voltages (1500v for display tube) might be dangerous to a cat over long periods. There is evidence that low-frequency electromagnetic radiation may be harmful to humans (can't remember if it increases birth defects, cancer, or what). The high voltages may not be good for kitty. 3. The cat may cause your monitor to overheat & burn out. Or cat hair may fall inside the monitor and do nasty things.
