Nah, it shouldn’t be a massive issue if you clean your case once in a while.
Yes this is a big deal if you take your cat off of your PC, your cat will never forgive you.
I plan on making a little comfy stand right above the exhaust for our cats. They’ll get nice and warm while causing no restrictions to the airflow.
It’s fine. Plus the kitty is cute
Assuming there’s an exhaust on top, you’re getting some minor build up, will you notice after a day? No. After a year, dust and cat hair will be that fan’s new best friend.
EDIT: do not touch the cat, he’s fine 😂
Depends if that’s intake or exhaust.
Wait until it pisses in your case and you make a post about it like so many others over the years here.
I have a smoll one as well and 2 140mm exhaust fans on top, and even on full loaf when he takes up both fans, the 120mm exhaust I have in the rear and my 415 watt 7900xtx don’t complain about any restrictions.
It’s only a problem if your thermals sucked in the first place
Your cat is a heatsink now
I let my cat do this until one day I went to clean my pc and saw all the fur that was inside the case
Keep your case clean and it’s fine. Let the cat hair build up in there and it will rapidly become not-fine.
Also cat piss is one of those things you can’t really clean off of components…. so that’s something that’s fun to think about.
Yes. It’s a pretty big deal when your kitty loves you so much they want to be right beside you.
Just be careful for that USB cable, my cat swallowed a small nylon piece of the headphones cable and it wasn’t good for her.

Next post repeat x3493: OH ME GAWL MUH KITTY PEEPED IN MY COMPUTER HAAAALP”
DIY a drip tray that will collect any moisture that may come down. Also get dust filters to keep it clean. Cat pee does not come of the computer part
that’s the cutest cat taking a nap pic I’ve seen this week. so cute!
in contrary: maybe just perspective but it looks like you have the mother of all gpu sags lol. If it is really like this in real life, that isn’t normal. Try tightening the backscrew a little more and push the gpu manually in the “right” position when doing so
As long as one exhaust fan is free and you dust often, I say enjoy the cute view on your rig….
For the cat? No.
For your pc? Maybe
Yes. The cat is the Cooler Master. Let it do its work!
Yes, cat might need a bigger case later. You are going to have to upgrade so that your cat fits comfortably.
Might have to do extra cleaning for hair removal.
It is to the cat.
Disturb at your own risk…
Zocat
Of course not, we all know cats are the real owners of the establishment (any kind)
Cat hair maybe but I would be more worried if it one day puked or pissed right into the top of the pc.
Yeah it’s pretty much fine like everyone’s said, you’ll prob jus want to clean ur pc more frequently is all
Cats are amazing at soaking up heat so in theory should make your pc run cooler if anything
It’s only a big deal if your power button is on top of the case and your cat learns that pushing it gets them attention. I had to mod my case to put the power button where the cat can’t press it. [https://imgur.com/a/32m5l50](https://imgur.com/a/32m5l50)
Absolutely not, mine loves all of the pcs in the house the only issue we have is when they sit on my son’s PC and push the power button lolol
Excess hair might build up but if you can maintain it, it’s just fine.
Wouldn’t recommend it.
Eventually your pc will get clogged full of cat fur and turn into a robocat
Gpu IS sagging ?
My cat threw up on top of my PC. Twice… Never again.
They like to lay there because it’s warm. Create a better warm spot for he/she to lay and make the PC off limits.
you might start thermal throttling when under extreme loads. personally i’d let it go it looks quite content where it is lol
Only winers here
The cat chilling on its computer? Not a big deal.
You have to buy your own computer now tho…..
Why did you buy a cat and a warm box if you do not want the cat to warm box
Hair, but that will happen regardless where your little friends lays down. No big deals.
My cat tends to vomit on things so I would say yes.
Uhh the ony pussy that you’ll ever touch.
My cat uses my pc as a step to the top of a tall bookshelf and I don’t want him getting hurt. So I’m entirely redoing all my cable management to move my pc once I find a good spot for it.
Looks like your cat warmer is working just fine
My cat doesn’t have the privilege to even be on my desk. Simply because he plays with the cables and destroys them which can be a very costly endeavor and it happened 2 times already. (He literally hunted the wrong mice lol 😂)
It is cheaper than a keyboard so it is handy( I mean petting it not smashing it)
My mf cats manage to knock off the magnetic screen then scratch themselves into my computer and it really pisses me off. My poor 7900 XTX covered in cat dandruff… I vacuumed it out and have been persistent in keeping them off but I work 12 hour days and my girlfriend does not stop them.
Cats like warm surfaces with interesting textures. They also love dominant spots in which observe the surroundings, relatively high, but easy to get in and out to. If you care, use that guidelines to provide a place your cat may like better.
That furball is gonna be bad for airflow. Dispose of it
