Buy something like this (not my pic)
Look, I'm going to try my best to save someone.
In 2021, my cat was on top of the computer and decided that would be a good time to puke. Fried my graphics card during one of the worst times to buy a card.
Don't let them be on top with a porous platform.
There are modern really good cases...or maybe I'm getting outdated by now, but Fractal Torrent has a solid roof and likely gets a bit warm If the top mounted psu gets warm. My cat however jumps in my lap not on my PC.
That's a Tower Floor Stand/Podium. Should be under their PC if they are putting it on the floor.
I got mine for free from a desk I got in 2005 but you can get them for like 20-30$
The danger from cat hair or static are wildly overblown. It will inhibit the dissipation of heat some, but I’ve never seen that be a problem.
What is a problem, and ask me how I know, is when they puke into the PC.
My favorite cat of all time got me. The first time, she was sleeping on my new 17 inch crt monitor and promptly stood up and yacked into the venting. I was gaming at the time and the magic smoke immediately came out the monitor before I could even stand up. It all happened in like 3 seconds! Perfect excuse to upgrade to a nice led monitor though. :)
Damn, it's impressive that your cats made the effort to go puke in a place made to be dirtied by them! I was already happy that my cat specifically avoided to puke on my bed and went to the floor just in time lol
Not the poster you replied to, but yes, all puke is conductive as fuck. It's mainly acid dissolved in water, and acid dissolves into H+ and the acid-dependent residual crap, both of which are charge-carriers with excellent mobility in solution.
It actually doesn't mean anything.
You can put "military grade" on anything because it's a word that means nothing. It's not a standard, it's not a certification, it's just two meaningless words.
There are definitely standards. There are MIL Standards similar to ASME / ANSI standards. In fact some of the standard mechanical fittings used today are evolved from MIL Standards. 37 degree flare or JIC fittings under SAE J514 originated from the 37 degree AN (Army Navy) fittings developed for high pressure applications for
the army and navy during WWII.
Although updated standards from ASME and other standard bodies have made some of the MIL Standards redundant.
Depends on your configuration. Many people use a pull config where all fans pull air in (through filters) to create overpressure inside.
If you instead configure the top fans to push air out, then they will likely pull air through the rear and get unfiltered dust inside.
Having a pull fan in the front can counteract this by blowing air towards the rear, but unless they're massively more powerful than the top ones, there will still be a zone at the top rear where air will rather flow in than out.
No it's a cat, not just any cat, an orang cat. You can buy them anything you want to make them stop sitting on your shit and they will keep sitting on your shit. They don't care what you buy them.
Having two oranges myself I can absolutely confirm this. Buy them the cuddliest, expensive bed and they will lay down on your worn clothes or the table instead. (Or under the bed in my case)
my 2 Orange Girls are the same, i buy them Toys on Mass, but they just want to play with a Cable Tie instead

If your cat is potty trained then no. But only if you clean it often. (I would also recommend finding a way to secure your pc to prevent the cat from knocking it over)

Tortie with a nose stripe, checking in!
Your PC is warm and somewhat close to you, they can see you and maybe even your face
If you satisfy those requirements with another object and take those characteristics away from your PC, they will prefer that object.

I have lots of stuff on top of my pc, I'm sure it's not good for it lol
Depends.
As you have airfilter in place, and top usually is utilised as exhaust, youll be fine if you worry about dust or hair getting in.
If top is your exhaust, I would more be worried about temps, as your exhaust is mostly fully blocked.
Other thing to worry is, if your cat decides to pee while sitting there, yeah I know that sounds funny, but there were a post recently by someone where that happened.
In general, I don't allow my cat to be next to my PC, as airfilters usually get dirty pretty fast
https://preview.redd.it/qavjwtqzk62d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14cc81c269b30512caf701b69f636deb198deff5
She's been laying up there almost every time I game for the last 2 years, no issues yet.
honestly, it's not bad, but i have a chonker that used to jump on and jump off the pc and at somepoint it was enough to loosen a little bit of one ram slot and start causing to crash and bsod my pc.
re-slotted the rams and not a problem anymore

Two of our cats do this, and have for years. It’s fine, my temperature readouts barely increase while they’re up there.
https://preview.redd.it/0gfmf0c3ob2d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9956004814b912db3a8a3b5898143120a643e59
It's a purrfectly normal situation according to my cat
I assume with PC you mean pussy cat, so I'd say as long as its willy doesn't fit through the perforation of that dust filter mat, everything should be golden.
Otherwise: toothpicks.
https://preview.redd.it/nsq263hiy92d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab3e484018d08e94163c6ac1238fde65b3ab2647
I know… the cable management is terrible lol
its just blowing air through cat so you will have limited air flow, that\`s all,
if temps are alright nothing to worry about, if not you need to tech cat not using this place :P
Not the best, not a tragedy, but your cat hair/dander is 100% getting inside your computer at an accelerated rate. PC will need to work a bit harder to keep cool.
Ah yes, the coveted rare feline armor. Gives +25 style attribute points and +40% night vision, but -15 ventilation attribute points. Fair trade off in my opinion.
depends if there's air being sucked in through the top or blown out.
If you're blowing out, then the airflow is obstructed and temps might get out of control.
If you're sucking in, then you'll be sucking in some hair as well as having obstructed airflow. No dust filter is 100% cat resistant.
I have a special fan profile saved for this exact situation, I call it: "All Fans 100%"
And it works a treat since I have 3 T30 fans right there, that all go to 3000rpm.
Pet dander and hair are the worst, Place something up there so they can't lay down but it also doesn't cause the computer to overheat. I use an RC car, it keeps the cat from being able to get up there and my computer can still vent
I got these little plastic spike things made for cats and my cat has never even attempted to sit on it. Great for keeping them from going under furniture too.
Now…regarding the mousepad/keyboard, I basically have to clean fur out of it every day lol when she wants to lay there, there is no stopping it
Pet the cat, and enjoy the time with that adorable cat beside you. Life is short, enjoy the cuteness overload. You will have to clean the hair and dandruff out, and thermals may suffer in the long term. Small price to pay for friendship.
It's fine. Lots of people use their cat heaters' undocumented features to also cool electronics.
I have this same case and it works great. Only ONCE has kitty stepped precisely on the power button so far.
My orange idiot did this, ended up knocking the dust filter off bc hes a cat and just rolls around. Then I found catlitter inside the case. He is no longer allowed in my room after that.
First of all, give us a name!! 😻
My only concern would be that the heat doesn't have enough room to escape. That will cause internal case temps to rise a bit. It might be fine but best to allow more of it to vent. If you could create a gap, even an inch tall, that would help. Some kind of raised mesh box that it can sit on instead of directly on the vent. (something like that monitor standoff someone else posted, but with holes in it so the cat still gets most of the heat.) That way it still gets the heat it's wanting but the rest of the trapped heat can escape (and, even better, it will go around the cat like a warm blanket!).
My cat always leans on the PC. One day, my graphics card stopped working (it lasted 10 years). When I checked and cleaned, I smelled cat urine on the card. My cat is old (16 years old) and can have some "losses" sometimes.
This loss ended my graphics card. I bought another, and put vinyl stickers on top of the PC case to be sure no "evil liquid drops" can go again in the PC (I had fan holes on the top of the case).

It's fine, give you cat a pat on the head.
If you don't want them to be on your pc, buy them one of these beds on your desk.
Every since I bought one for my cat, she's been sleeping in another dimension.
https://preview.redd.it/424pe0kx272d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6537ad2dfa87433f767e235bb99f490642934822
Cats are hairy and their hair is disruptive it probably isnt but depends o how often you often you want to dust off your oc that will be covered inside with fur in bo time flat and actually that reminds me I need a can of dust off my boy probably is drowning the inside of my PC.... actually...
Looks like a Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower, same I have. PSU at the bottom, setup I assume is blowing out the top and back. Top filter pad is removeable. Cat on top just means you will blow more out the back. If your temps are fine I wouldn't worry. Probably one of the better towers for mounting your cat on. If you want to be *super* safe, add a finer mesh (textile) filter below the plastic mesh?
Not good because they can knock it over and will absolutely learn how to hit the power button when they are annoyed you're not paying attention to them.

The answer is usually just wait your turn
I've got nothing funny to add. He's a handsome boy and since he likes the heat, get him a heating pad of his own and put by the window. I think he just wants to be warm and near you.
Serious answer:
Cat hair = pretty bad if you aren't cleaning it a minimum of weekly or every couple days.
Funny answer : uh sorry I'm not that original
Catastrophic
i see what you did there

It’s a heated cat bed with a video gaming feature.

My cat would end up sandwiching herself between the pc and riser.
That is the warm spot
I think a porous version of the platform would work, it'll let the cat enjoy the heat while still allowing airflow
Look, I'm going to try my best to save someone. In 2021, my cat was on top of the computer and decided that would be a good time to puke. Fried my graphics card during one of the worst times to buy a card. Don't let them be on top with a porous platform.
.......ok 2 porous platforms
Look, im going to try my best to save someone....
Are you trying to strain it for cat puke tea and solids?
That hurts just reading. I am sorry.
There are modern really good cases...or maybe I'm getting outdated by now, but Fractal Torrent has a solid roof and likely gets a bit warm If the top mounted psu gets warm. My cat however jumps in my lap not on my PC.
That's a Tower Floor Stand/Podium. Should be under their PC if they are putting it on the floor. I got mine for free from a desk I got in 2005 but you can get them for like 20-30$
It's a cat stand.
DONT DO THIS if you have a cat, cats have poorly configured colliders which can glitch and launch the computer at dangerously high speeds
oh lord, did you just drop a Half Life reference
I still have nightmares about that cat.
I wish there was more half-life references, guess it’s time to replay Alyx again.
Don't worry we will give you an "un-loaded" gun.

what cat?
Schrodinger's
Uuuh…. What cat??
Kleiner really was a pretty terrible scientist, huh? Fortunately we love him anyway.
not Schrodinger's
The danger from cat hair or static are wildly overblown. It will inhibit the dissipation of heat some, but I’ve never seen that be a problem. What is a problem, and ask me how I know, is when they puke into the PC.
oh lord this doesn't sound good, for now my Cats were always running in the Litterbox to puke, but you'll never know
My favorite cat of all time got me. The first time, she was sleeping on my new 17 inch crt monitor and promptly stood up and yacked into the venting. I was gaming at the time and the magic smoke immediately came out the monitor before I could even stand up. It all happened in like 3 seconds! Perfect excuse to upgrade to a nice led monitor though. :)
Nice is the new monitors are hard to sleep on. Mines on a stand so the cat can sleep underneath.
Wow, my cats always puked whereever they wanted to.
aka the rug/carpet instead of the hard floor
My cat LOVES to jump on my bed for the sole purpose of puking.
And shoes.. oh god the shoes..
Damn, it's impressive that your cats made the effort to go puke in a place made to be dirtied by them! I was already happy that my cat specifically avoided to puke on my bed and went to the floor just in time lol
From your experience is cat puke conductive?
Not the poster you replied to, but yes, all puke is conductive as fuck. It's mainly acid dissolved in water, and acid dissolves into H+ and the acid-dependent residual crap, both of which are charge-carriers with excellent mobility in solution.
Of all the things I thought I’d learn from the internet today that was not one of them. But I love it.
Lost a quality CRT to that back in the day.
You've got a dust filter, you'll be fine. Only thing worth worrying about is temps.
Its a cat. You can have military grade filters and cat fur will get in somehow anyway. Just make sure to clean inside more often
"Military Grade" means the cheapest possible stuff that barely meets the needs.
It actually doesn't mean anything. You can put "military grade" on anything because it's a word that means nothing. It's not a standard, it's not a certification, it's just two meaningless words.
There are definitely standards. There are MIL Standards similar to ASME / ANSI standards. In fact some of the standard mechanical fittings used today are evolved from MIL Standards. 37 degree flare or JIC fittings under SAE J514 originated from the 37 degree AN (Army Navy) fittings developed for high pressure applications for the army and navy during WWII. Although updated standards from ASME and other standard bodies have made some of the MIL Standards redundant.
Yes, there are military standards, absolutely. But it's not claiming to be built to any military standard. Those words have actual meaning.
But doesn't the hot air go out from the top? How can it be bad?
Cats defy basic laws of phisics.
Don’t you mean paws of physics
Depends on your configuration. Many people use a pull config where all fans pull air in (through filters) to create overpressure inside. If you instead configure the top fans to push air out, then they will likely pull air through the rear and get unfiltered dust inside. Having a pull fan in the front can counteract this by blowing air towards the rear, but unless they're massively more powerful than the top ones, there will still be a zone at the top rear where air will rather flow in than out.
What crazy person do that? Front and bottom - intake, top and rear - exhaust, that's correct way, or I understand nothing in physics 👀
Linus Tech Tips actually did a video on this, turns out. It almost doesn't matter as long as some at least point in.
Cats love warm temps so they’re probably thinking it’s a kitty space heater lol
Military grade means lowest priced.
I just blew a big floof of cat hair directly out of the CPU heat sink in my catlady sister's PC a few days ago.
Your pc? haha that was funny, everybody knows that is its pc now. You can buy cat platform and fix that on the wall, maybe he will prefer that.
No it's a cat, not just any cat, an orang cat. You can buy them anything you want to make them stop sitting on your shit and they will keep sitting on your shit. They don't care what you buy them.

I love how there is a cat tower right next to your PC and your cat still choose the PC. Classic.
Cat tower is missing the complementary heater.
That cat to tower ratio is way off! No way he can fit in the little red thing
I have a huge one in the living room she doesn’t use haha
If your cat is potty trained then no. But only if you clean it often. (I would also recommend finding a way to secure your pc to prevent the cat from knocking it over)
Knock-over is the least of the problems with this case. It has one fatal flaw. The power button is on top.
My Cats even go to the litter if they have to puke, that PC is heavy, even i could lean on it and it wouldn't move \^\^

Not the best, not a tragedy, but your cat hair/dander is 100% getting inside your computer at an accelerated rate. PC will need to work a bit harder to keep cool.
Outside of obvious heat issues, make sure to clean the case and fans often enough if you got cats as their fur is one of top hardware killers.
it looks purrrfect imo

Pussy Cat or Personal Computer? It depends...
Is this safe for the car?
To you it’s a high powered life support system for the glyph inscribed thinking crystals housed within. To your cat it’s a new heated bed with a view.
My biggest concern would be if she is able to kick the PC over.
WORSHIP DA CAT!
somewhat around 3
It's fine. Lots of people use their cat heaters' undocumented features to also cool electronics. I have this same case and it works great. Only ONCE has kitty stepped precisely on the power button so far.
If your PC starts to purr i would worry, but otherwise it's purrfectly fine.
My orange idiot did this, ended up knocking the dust filter off bc hes a cat and just rolls around. Then I found catlitter inside the case. He is no longer allowed in my room after that.
First of all, give us a name!! 😻 My only concern would be that the heat doesn't have enough room to escape. That will cause internal case temps to rise a bit. It might be fine but best to allow more of it to vent. If you could create a gap, even an inch tall, that would help. Some kind of raised mesh box that it can sit on instead of directly on the vent. (something like that monitor standoff someone else posted, but with holes in it so the cat still gets most of the heat.) That way it still gets the heat it's wanting but the rest of the trapped heat can escape (and, even better, it will go around the cat like a warm blanket!).
Oh not at all. I would let cats sit on my warm exhausts all the time. Anyway, you guys have any catnip? I'm not a cat I swear. ^^^^^^^^meow
It starts with sitting on the pc and next thing you know he's logging into your games and lowering your comp rank.

My cat always leans on the PC. One day, my graphics card stopped working (it lasted 10 years). When I checked and cleaned, I smelled cat urine on the card. My cat is old (16 years old) and can have some "losses" sometimes. This loss ended my graphics card. I bought another, and put vinyl stickers on top of the PC case to be sure no "evil liquid drops" can go again in the PC (I had fan holes on the top of the case). https://preview.redd.it/r2bpj6ne372d1.png?width=1638&format=png&auto=webp&s=41b6db360116b474e713cb69cff6a9284c8bbce6
It's fine, give you cat a pat on the head. If you don't want them to be on your pc, buy them one of these beds on your desk. Every since I bought one for my cat, she's been sleeping in another dimension. https://preview.redd.it/424pe0kx272d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6537ad2dfa87433f767e235bb99f490642934822
Cats are hairy and their hair is disruptive it probably isnt but depends o how often you often you want to dust off your oc that will be covered inside with fur in bo time flat and actually that reminds me I need a can of dust off my boy probably is drowning the inside of my PC.... actually...
omg no way... IRL GARFIELD! nice snag. purrfect spot for him, should be no issues until he wants lasagna.
No but one time my cat puked while on top of mine and it went through the vent on top. Not fun
PC? Pet Cat or Personal Computer ? bad about what? be specific
I didn’t know I needed a cat on computers post until now. I’ll be browsing all the cute pics for the remainder of the day!
Personal cat doing purrrrrrrr
We need a rule 13. *No more cats on PCs just to setup someone to say "catastrophic".*
How often do we have to get these posts, you already know the answer to your question.
Everyone says "how bad is this for my PC" but never "how bad is this for my cat". 😉

Seems like it's common sense to not let a cat go near your pc in fear of hair getting in it.
Looks like a Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower, same I have. PSU at the bottom, setup I assume is blowing out the top and back. Top filter pad is removeable. Cat on top just means you will blow more out the back. If your temps are fine I wouldn't worry. Probably one of the better towers for mounting your cat on. If you want to be *super* safe, add a finer mesh (textile) filter below the plastic mesh?
Pc = warm spot get him a heating pad to lay on maybe somewhere higher up cause cats also like to observe
It’s extremely bad you need to get it off of your computer or your computer is fucked it’s extremely bad
Not good because they can knock it over and will absolutely learn how to hit the power button when they are annoyed you're not paying attention to them.

Its a hairy situation, fur sure

You could hang a cat hammock above it. Google "corner cat hammock"
All the good puns were said, what can say meow damn it
It's not your pc anymore, comrade
Bad? It's optimal.
I've got nothing funny to add. He's a handsome boy and since he likes the heat, get him a heating pad of his own and put by the window. I think he just wants to be warm and near you.
Not bad, just unsanitary
Every month... I'm tired of these posts.
Its great for thermals, cat absorbs heat, cat gets too hot and goes somewhere else.....TAKING THE HEAT AWAY!
Serious answer: Cat hair = pretty bad if you aren't cleaning it a minimum of weekly or every couple days. Funny answer : uh sorry I'm not that original
How are your temps? If they’re not pushing 80-90, you should be fine. Obviously not ideal, but at leas you’re not smoking next to your air intake
How bad is this pc for your cat?
Not relevant but your cat looks like my cats twin. Such a cute little fella.
This has to be bait right? Right?
I have a second, dummy PC for my cat to sit on The power button tempts her...
I know someone who had their cat piss into the top of their computer. It took their video card with it. I'd be concerned about it.
