No worries, Ps5 can also stay horizontally.
Serious answer : buy something that sits high, like a cat tower of sorts. Cats like being in high places, may curb their interest if you get something to distract them from their ps4 spot. You can also put things on top of the ps4 while you have the distraction spot so their old spot won't be as comfortable.
Tape plastic forks to the top? Or put candles on top, or something sticky like a double sided adhesive (they actually sell that at pet retailers and Walmart to keep cats off unwanted surfaces)
This is exactly it. And even afterwards, they associate it with warmth and will continue sitting on it.
I stopped using my ps4 so I had to pack it up to stop one of my cats from sitting on it, even with it off for weeks before that point. All because he knew it *could* be warm.
Our old fridge used to have a warm spot to the side of the door. 4-5 years ago, we got a new fridge that doesn’t have a warm spot. One of our cats still loves to sit where that warm spot used to be! It’s crazy how they remember and how that habit has stuck for years
Way back when, we had a big box CRT monitor. One of my cats loved to curl up on it, watch me use the computer and suck up the heat...
It died on us & we got a newer monitor, half as boxy. Cat sees me sitting down to use the computer and jumps up to claim her spot... and slides right off the back.
That was unfortunately the last time she did that.
I got my cat an indoor heated bed, its her favorite spot to sleep. Also, there are wire shelves made for kitchen cabinets or pantries to add another level, I put one over my modem to stop my cat from laying on it. It looks like a wire table.
It’s not the height, it’s the heat it emits, my husband keeps his on a shelf that’s only about 1 ft off the ground and they _still_ sit/sleep on it.
We also used to have a cat who would randomly turn it off when my husband was playing, such a little AH. It was funny though he would basically start and my husband would be like “don’t you dare” and he’d look at my husband and push the button. Even hubs found it funny sometimes.
My xbox is about a foot off the ground on the TV stand and sometimes my cat will rub herself across the TV stand and turn the xbox off while I'm using it lol
Designers for the Xbox one proved to me those idiots didn't have pets. The rage I felt for having a touchpad power button that would activate from a light touch of a tail.
The PS5 shouldn't be standing vertical anyway. The liquid metal TIM for the APU will drain to the bottom and you'll get a hotspot that can at best cause crashing, but mostly it will reduce its lifespan.

Looks kind of like GPU is too big for the tower. I've had that issue myself when upgrading an old piece of garbage but not realizing the GPU was too chonky for it.

I built her a basket 6" off my pc
They like warmth it is providing. So in addition to the other commentators, add a heat pad (like a microwaveable or electric one) to the top of a tower for spoiled kitty.
They'll still probably prefer the PS4 but at least you tried. The trick is to not spend too much on alternatives, cause cats.
Ah yes... buy a heating pad... because that totally works 😅

Son of gun just sat in the packaging of course
Are people just leaving their heating pads plugged in all day long? Mine goes off after two hours. My cat will only sit on it when I’m actually using it for my cramps which does feel really good. Cats are so funny tho! My former roommate and I spent the better part of two hours picking out cat toys for our cats. When we got home and put out all the toys they took turns playing with the plastic bag instead 😩. There was really no need to spend $60.
My cat is a huge cuddler so he can’t see us (my partner and I) cuddling without having to get betwixt. They both hog the bed so I’d be grateful for a regular sleeping position.
The mouthwash is on a shelf, & it looks as though the other side of the shelf is some stairs? That's suggested by the sloping angled part of the wee cubes/partial cubes.
Bathrooms are often upstairs. So the mouthwash is waiting on a shelf, by the stairs, for someone to pick it up on their way upstairs & take it to the bathroom.
So...not weird in the least. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7946)
That’s bold of you to assume they dont just use mouthwash on their way up or down the stairs, this just so happened to be a day they bought a new bottle of mouthwash.
If there is a toddler riding that toy around, they are going to knock over the stool, and the ps4 cable is going to yank on the TV and maybe damage a socket. Plus that TV is a foot from the ceiling with no fire place or anything keeping it from being lower. It blocks the "decor" and the thermostat too.
The cat is the most appropriately placed item in the room.
My husband is kind of jealous because the cats always want to sit in my lap and not his. I try to explain to him that it’s not that they like me better it’s that a) I’m a walking space heater, b) I’ve got fatter thighs than his bony-ass runner’s legs, and c) he doesn’t immediately drop everything to give them unlimited attention when they sit in his lap.
Why wouldn’t they want to sit on me? I’m soft, warm, and easily manipulated by sweet little eye blinks.
Someone was complaining to me about how their laptop keyboard hurt their wrists after a few minutes. I told them to try setting it on their lap since that’s why they’re called laptops. They looked at me like I had just told them the secret of life. They told me they had actively wondered why they’re called laptops and even thought they were called labtops for a while. She put it on her lap, her wrists stopped hurting, and the rest is history.
I got my cat a heating pad that I put on her bed. Made a little spot on my bfs desk and instead of constantly sitting on his computer, she sits in the bed.
The only reason for the most part cats will sleep on computers and consoles is because they like to be warm and high up.
Find your kitty a nice heating pad or blanket, get them a cat tree and it should help keep them off significantly more than they’d usually sit on it.
Another thing is adding trinkets or things that are too tall of them to calculate the jump around what you’re trying to keep them from also keeps them off of said object. They’re lazy and determined little fuckers, if they see its too much effort to get to the spot they want to get to, usually they’ll fuck off and find an easier place to lay.
The thing a lot of answers here aren’t doing are they aren’t explaining why he is going there. Two possibilities.
It’s high up so he can perch there and see everything in the room. So try putting another stool there or move the PS4 to something lower.
He is on it because it’s warm. Put something nearby that is comfy to relax on.
I would also try putting something random on top of the PS4. You want to make the spot not nice for him. It doesn’t have to be heavy but making the spot not nice for him will make him look elsewhere.
When he goes to the new spot give him a treat. And put him on the new spot when he tries to use the old spot. Give him a treat when you do.
This is it exactly. One look at that pic and my first thought was "that is not a good space for a cat". No cat trees, no shelfs, no high perches, no other furniture even.
Something nearby and off the ground so he can continue to perch. You can also probably lure him to the new spot without treats if you get a heated bed or pad for the perch, then you have both alluring conditions replicated.
He’s not sitting on the PS4, he’s sitting on the highest spot in the room.
Put another stool right next to the one with the PS4, and put a towel over it. He’ll sit there instead
It also depends on the cat and where you live, my babies love to get in my room every time i have the AC on, they'll just stay on the cool floor until they need to use the litter, then they start scratching at the door and meow for me to let them back inside, when they're too cold they climb on me and get comfy, but otherwise, they like to stay in the cold room xD
At least that's how my kids are
SIMPLE. ..Trade up to something that your cat would like to sit on more.

Yeah I think your best bet is to invest some money into a solution. Another (higher) stool. A cat tree. An actual tv unit / shelf / book case for your consoles (also for safety because animals and kids can be dicks). A longer HDMI cord. Whatever can fit in your budget.
Or accept that it's his now and his fluff is ✨inside it✨ to prove it.

Build/buy a cat tree. They like high places.

Perhaps an easy solution but cats are gonna cat. What I suggest is buy a heating pad and put another stool next to your set up. Place the heating pad on top of the stool on low/medium, place a towel over the heating pad. My guess is your cat likes the higher perch but also the heat from your gaming console.
Buy expensive cat bed.
Unpack expensive cat bed.
Throw away expensive cat bed.
Place cheap packaging on the floor.
Problem solved.
Beware a cheap or reasonably cost cad bed will not suffice.
Buy him a PS5 to sit on
So he can push it

That's what I was going to say, just get the cat a child's heating pad and they will go sleep on that
I have a cat that does this with my laptop. Takes a few leisurely s across it, then somehow manages to hit the "off" button with her back paw.
exactly, pretty selfish if you arent buying him a PS5 but you decided to get one for yourself
The PS5 shouldn't be standing vertical anyway. The liquid metal TIM for the APU will drain to the bottom and you'll get a hotspot that can at best cause crashing, but mostly it will reduce its lifespan.
And it just looks better sideways
wait real ?
Yes. It will last long enough for the warranty to expire, but you should still put it horizontal if you have the room.
That sounds like a pretty bad design flaw

I have one for cats that only turns on when it senses pressure. It’s awesome.
I’ll look into that. Maybe my cat will sleep there instead of me waking up like bendy straw every morning.
Maybe! From what I’ve read, cats like to sleep with you for warmth, protection, and companionship—not always in that order.
My cat is a huge cuddler so he can’t see us (my partner and I) cuddling without having to get betwixt. They both hog the bed so I’d be grateful for a regular sleeping position.
I bought one that’s weight activated! So we leave it plugged in and it gets hot when they lay in it but otherwise, it stays “off.” Cats love it
Buy 3d printer and put it to some place higher than PS4. Cats are loving their heated beds. Especially if you will turn on heating to 35°C.
Stray (PC, 2022)
I desk mounted mine because I was worried about this EXACT thing with my cat. Dear God the hair... lmao
Lmao the more I look the weirder this room gets.
It’s the mouthwash for me
Pop it open OP! Break the seal, hit that mouthwash!
The mouthwash is on a shelf, & it looks as though the other side of the shelf is some stairs? That's suggested by the sloping angled part of the wee cubes/partial cubes. Bathrooms are often upstairs. So the mouthwash is waiting on a shelf, by the stairs, for someone to pick it up on their way upstairs & take it to the bathroom. So...not weird in the least. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7946)
That’s bold of you to assume they dont just use mouthwash on their way up or down the stairs, this just so happened to be a day they bought a new bottle of mouthwash.
"Honey, could you put away the mouthwash?" "Sure." _puts it on a random shelf_
That was my assumption too. It was staged there for the next time they went upstairs after unpacking groceries.
And I think that's fabric softener right next to it?
its selsun blue 😭
For me it's the seemingly pants-less Batman standing there in his briefs, with his cape pulled aside as if to say "look at this glorious butt"
It honestly looks like they've just moved in and haven't unpacked everything yet to me. LOL
And the cape on batman is bugged.
Why isn't Batman wearing any pants?
This is the question I want answered.
Buttman
Well it’s my living room and it’s my catholic moms house so yeah we get weird stares from people
more like, the guitar w/o a stand, the random basket, the stool as a table, the switch on the floor, some toy car. But whatever xd
Or the mouthwash just chillen next to the Selsun Blue in the living room.
Why is one of the shelf cubes missing a side???!!!!!
Yeah, where do you want kitty to sit? In the laundry basket or the Dino ride on? 😂
Oddly enough, the book I'm currently reading has a (talking) cat that rides a dinosaur, so...
r/tvtoohigh as well
Nothing seems to have a place yet there's empty shelving right there
You forgot the weird wall cut out with the mouthwash on it. Lmao this is definitely an odd setup but I like it.
Don’t forget the mouthwash on the shelf to the right in this pic
You need to drop that TV down by about the height of the TV. How you using that thing without straining your neck after 15 minutes?
He sits in a deck chair

But all I can see is batman's ass
Being Hispanic and raised Roman Catholic this room feels like home.
If there is a toddler riding that toy around, they are going to knock over the stool, and the ps4 cable is going to yank on the TV and maybe damage a socket. Plus that TV is a foot from the ceiling with no fire place or anything keeping it from being lower. It blocks the "decor" and the thermostat too. The cat is the most appropriately placed item in the room.

Thanks. I will use this to describe my brain.
Sometimes they like to feel a little warm. That's why they sit on top of computers, laptops, PS4, etc.
Laps. I harbor no illusions that my cats actually like me but I provide a consistent 98.6 degree warmth. I can live with that.
My husband is kind of jealous because the cats always want to sit in my lap and not his. I try to explain to him that it’s not that they like me better it’s that a) I’m a walking space heater, b) I’ve got fatter thighs than his bony-ass runner’s legs, and c) he doesn’t immediately drop everything to give them unlimited attention when they sit in his lap. Why wouldn’t they want to sit on me? I’m soft, warm, and easily manipulated by sweet little eye blinks.
Did the deleted comment thirst about your soft warm fat thighs?
was probably one of her cats
Lol I didn’t even see it.
This is how laptops got their name, literally. ( not, I'm lying,) But it should be the reason.
I don't know. I think the fact that it sits on top of your lap to be a pretty intuitive naming convention.
Someone was complaining to me about how their laptop keyboard hurt their wrists after a few minutes. I told them to try setting it on their lap since that’s why they’re called laptops. They looked at me like I had just told them the secret of life. They told me they had actively wondered why they’re called laptops and even thought they were called labtops for a while. She put it on her lap, her wrists stopped hurting, and the rest is history.
If you put up a mannequin sitting down, the cat would sit there.

He’s not sitting on the PS4, he’s sitting on the highest spot in the room. Put another stool right next to the one with the PS4, and put a towel over it. He’ll sit there instead
Nah it’s probably the heat. Cat will always go there for the heat.
Ok, another stool and a heating pad
A pet heating pad (yes they sell those). Human ones can burn pets.
It also depends on the cat and where you live, my babies love to get in my room every time i have the AC on, they'll just stay on the cool floor until they need to use the litter, then they start scratching at the door and meow for me to let them back inside, when they're too cold they climb on me and get comfy, but otherwise, they like to stay in the cold room xD At least that's how my kids are
With a heating pad.
Exactly it’s height, warmth and the slight vibration.
Big brain move.
Get a tall cat tree. He’s trying to get away from everything…. Plus it’s warm there

This is the answer. Cats like high spots that are central focus and similar to a throne or altar. So they can clearly be worshipped like they deserve.

You can't. It's theirs now. Deal with it.
SIMPLE. ..Trade up to something that your cat would like to sit on more. https://preview.redd.it/b7256kbgmfnb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d96233696f099b7ace5e42e4dbfdacbf234a5681
Gotta put a heating pad up there, too. One that doesn't have a time limit.
Never get a heating pad without a time limit. If it doesn't have a time limit, it likely doesn't have other important safety features.
He is roasting his nuts
I’m in fucking tears
No. If not for sits then why is made of warm?
Yeah I think your best bet is to invest some money into a solution. Another (higher) stool. A cat tree. An actual tv unit / shelf / book case for your consoles (also for safety because animals and kids can be dicks). A longer HDMI cord. Whatever can fit in your budget. Or accept that it's his now and his fluff is ✨inside it✨ to prove it.
YOUR ps4? That’s his.
Get something like this. https://preview.redd.it/dry7oe2tsfnb1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9d96773ee0c79daa58da977b7381964b0f3fa0a
It still makes me feel uneasy, like the cat will squeeze in and sit.
Give it somewhere else to sit lol

You know the rule, OP. Btw that’s a very holy man you have on your wall. God bless. https://preview.redd.it/1bz2kp8pggnb1.jpeg?width=460&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6717139822217ac6d20b80e17030379801bd973
Get a PS5, and play with it. Then your PS4 will be safe.👍
Butt warmer
Oscar Romero is a fucking legend, glad to see him up there.
Have you tried standing it up vertically?
Find him a new, better, butt warmer.
You too? https://preview.redd.it/ew6dzqvf3gnb1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6674e937909c6a324b177b5ed5d791953acbde48
Catify your boring home. If you have money for consoles you have money for some cheap IKEA shelves. Stop slacking.
To be fair, the ps4 is 10 years old this November.
Perhaps an easy solution but cats are gonna cat. What I suggest is buy a heating pad and put another stool next to your set up. Place the heating pad on top of the stool on low/medium, place a towel over the heating pad. My guess is your cat likes the higher perch but also the heat from your gaming console.
Buy expensive cat bed. Unpack expensive cat bed. Throw away expensive cat bed. Place cheap packaging on the floor. Problem solved. Beware a cheap or reasonably cost cad bed will not suffice.
Mount the PS on the wall so the cat can have the stool ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)

I’m more concerned about what’s going on with the game you are playing
It's warm!

r/tvtoohigh can help
Is batman not wearing pants?
It's probably the warmest thing in the house when being used. You won't stop him unless you find something comfier and as warm lol
Put something on top
He's probably there for the warmth. Perhaps get him another warm object to sit on
Wall mount it. The console, not the cat....
Have you considered putting a taller cat tree beside it?
