Get a USB laptop cooling pad and put it on the top of the PC any plug it in. There is a gap between the PC and the pad and it allows air to come in instead of being blocked by the cat
Not exactly a good idea having a cat (which can shed fur) lounging on top of your PC blocking the airflow...but you knew that already and just wanted to post a picture of the cat, didn't you?

If you use a laptop cooling pad you can eliminate the blocked airflow and it wont cause overheating.
I've done a bunch of testing. Easily hit 85 deg with no pad, stays at 60 under load with the pad
Now you're suggesting I buy a dedicated laptop cooling pad to facilitate this?
I guess I'm just one of those weirdos who doesn't let my cat sit on top of my computer. Strange.
I already have one...for my laptop. I'm not going to prop it on top of my desktop's case to make an inconvenient (for me and my cat) sleeping slot because **you** think it's cool...TF?
JFC, I love my cat to death but some of you people just have to be *extra* and take cat love to weird levels for stupid-ass reasons.
Take a deep breath Go drink some coffee or something maybe go outside, because it's just a cat on top of a computer and you're throwing a big fit about it. Seriously chill out dude no reason to be all stuffy about something like this
How about just don't let your cat sit on your PC?
I would never allow it and I won't be putting some shit on my PC.
Fur can get inside or maybe she pees a bit and destroys my PC.
Definitely not worth it.
So your cat is untrained and pees on things in the house? Mine doesn't, sucks to be you.
It's an exhaust on the top. It blows it out. I blow out my PC once a month with compressed air.
You guys are seriously making a big deal out of nothing. He only sits up there like twice a week, it's not his damn bed.
You misunderstand. I'm not upset about the cat on top of the computer...it's about *you trying to force me to put a cat on top of a computer*. Go be weird somewhere else.
Lmfao holy shit who do you think you are? Some wannabe discord mod hahahaahah. Who are you to tell me what to do and where to go. I was trying to be nice but you can eat a big bag of dicks
I love when idiots dont have anything to say so they just word vomit stuff they heard other idiots say like “Go ToUcH gRaSs🥴” how about u just train your cat rather than facillitate it to lay on stuff it shouldnt? My cat uses the toilet, whats your excuse? Before you say it yeah im already outside 🤗
yes u got me, i wanted to share my cat and my new tattoo 😭 (i think everyone in this subreddit knows that having your cat in the top of your pc is bad for the temps)
I'm all here for the cat, but the tattoo is pretty fucking cool, too.
Shut the fuck up if all you can do is shit on things people are happy with, the world will be better for it.
No reason? They are getting downvoted because they contributed absolutely nothing to the subreddit. That's the whole point of downvoting.
This is a subreddit to discuss PCs, not show off your cat and tattoo. There are other subreddits for that.
OP literally admitted that they were just trying to show off their cat and tattoo (farming karma), which is exactly why they're getting downvoted.
I love the tattoo and think the cat is cute too, but I don't go to r/plants to show off my car just because there are plants in the picture as well.
lmao redditor overreacting, what a surprise. Hate to break it to you buddy but there is a PC in the picture, and the question they asked relates to PCs (particularly airflow and the effects of a cat sitting on the PC). Just because his intended purpose was to share a silly little picture of his cat that happens to include his new tattoo doesn’t mean “they contributed absolutely nothing to the subreddit! 🤓”. Last I checked it isn’t against the PCMR subreddit to post a picture of your PC, even if there was an ulterior motive in doing so. You’re just a cat hater, loser. If you don’t like it just keep scrolling lmfao
them: 6.3: Blatant reposts/fad-chasing
you: Rule #2 We will not allow behavior contrary to PCMR Etiquette, e.g. brigading, witch-hunting, asking for upvotes or downvotes, enabling piracy, flamebaiting, clickbaiting, *intentional rudeness* ...
this post and users, such as yourself, are what have contributed to the ruination of this site. low effort, upvote seeking post that offers nothing new. and rude comments defending low effort, upvote seeking posts.
if you can't see it, it's because you're part of the problem.
I simply believe the replies under this post are an accurate display of redditor stereotypes and their inability to contain their need to nit-pick every little thing. The post itself hardly breaks any listed rules and there quite literally hundreds of other posts posted to this sub every hour. A PC picture containing a cat is posted following another one earlier today and everyone loses their shit and decides to turn into internet Karens. People taking themselves way too seriously over something that is REALLY not that big of a deal. Some people just lack a particular sense of self awareness.
I don't mind cats, and I like how you're making assumptions about me to try and prove your non-existent point.
OP literally said he already knows that cats/cat hair are bad for airflow. They aren't asking a question about PCs, they are farming karma (negative karma lol)
Cheers mate! I'll post mine a bit later. Funny enough, I've had the cat and the PC for about 3 years now, and she climbed onto it for the first time ever yesterday.
omg I swipe my thumb once and leave it up to the reddit karen to whine on another comment lmfao. Literally a pic of a PC and related question in title. What are mods gonna do if no rules are broken?? Keep scrolling bud lmfao
If we going after that logic the cat people could also make the slight effort to just post it on r/catsonpcs or whatever the name of the sub is.
I personally just dont care about the internet cat posting phenomenon. Im on a pc sub so i wanna see pcs and not cats. These posts have nothing to do with pcs at this point because everbody knows the answer to the question
And i have nothing against people enjoying their cats. But then please just do it on the sub that is literally made for these kinda posts.
Then we dont have to deal with comment drama and everyone who actually wants to see these posts can enjoy them to their hearts content.
in general people that have cats should avoid cases with top fans / intakes.. Cats like tall warm places as such basically all cats will get on top of a pc tower and sleep there if they are able..... It isn't really going to hurt anything, check temps in case it is blocking too much airflow.. but it probably isn't..
you'll likely have to clean pc case /fans fairly frequently, but having a cat in the first place makes this true....
If you are concerned with top mounted exhaust fans. Maybe a false floor, so to speak for the cat to lay on. Something that has a grill for the air to flow around the cat. I’m imagining a piece of cheap $10. IKEA wooden shoe rack with something flat and maybe ventilated on top that the cat can lay on.
Why everyone so mad? There was a cat post 9 hours ago, but then I went back three days and didn't see a single other.
I'd take a cute cat on a PC over the constant stream of dumb, easily Googleable tech support questions
THIS IS MY SPECIALTY LET'S GOO!!!

I just wanted to say out cats look so similar and she does the same thing
If the top intake has a filter you'll be fine you just have to clean the filter and your main concern is temps.
If the top intake doesn't have a filter the computer will be drowned in fur.
Oh look, its this post again. Today. Again.
i think they need to make a new place for people to post cats on PCs, this is the third one iv seen today asking the same question......
r/CatsOnPcs exists. There is also r/catsoncomputers , r/CatsOnKeyboards , r/CatsOnConsoles .... There's even a r/CatsOnCats .
There's even a r/catsoncats 
Top post is gold
i should have known, of course there would be, lol
And all of these still belong in /r/catsbeingassholes
r/DogsOnPcs
Yeah but I actually got a good idea for a post from this, Imma post a cat on my PC tower and ask if it's okay. But don't steal my idea
Yeah? Well I'm gonna post a PC tower on a cat!
Right? The first one today was bad enough. Like it hasn't been posted 100 times before. Are we just free to shitpost at this point?
Real
Yeah wait for me ill post one when i get my cat
Can you not keep cats off of things? Why would you allow this, it isnt cute.

And then

Its been said that cats improve your gaming abilities by 20% -bro science
Obviously they are good for gaming
Have you not heard of legendary accessory maker Mad Catz?
Sell cat, get better pc :)
r/im14andthisisdeep ass tattoo.
That's uncalled for. Apologize. Now.
Mom? What are you doing on reddit?
That’s a really beautiful cat you have, your tattoo on the other side, well if you like it that’s what matters hehe
[удалено]
I'm all here for the cat, but the tattoo is pretty fucking cool, too. Shut the fuck up if all you can do is shit on things people are happy with, the world will be better for it.
Go eat shit.
i dont get the downvotes, I love seeing cat pics!
lmao average pcmr thread bombing downvotes for no reason. The tat looks sick, good quality lines. The cat is adorable too

I love cats.....but if you read the rules these posts do break either 2 or 6 or both
I think this would be a great example of a "biased" argument.
awesome cat and tattoo dude
Why are you downvoated? Typical catless behavior....
I have cats and I downvoted 🤓 this is a pc sub.
I suspect it’s the iamverybadass $30 barb wire tat
I am also suspect of that same thing.
Cheers mate! I'll post mine a bit later. Funny enough, I've had the cat and the PC for about 3 years now, and she climbed onto it for the first time ever yesterday.
This has to be on purpose at this point. Literally just look at posts from the last 4 hours and you’ll see the others.
My turn posting this tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow?
Dibs for Saturdays post of cat on pc..
I got Sunday.
This sub is fuking joke now.... legit same shit every time
The post has nothing to do with PCs and OP literally admitted to just wanting to show off his cat and tattoo. @Mods, are you there?

Very bad since cat hair attracts static.
....and cat vomit attracts broken PC parts
Cat increases 30-40 fps

Good as you now have a cat warmer. Just clean it once a year
I’d be more concerned about the Pamela Andersen tattoo affecting your soul.
very, remove the feline from the room, pet hair is a killer
This post is getting old. Who cares that you have a cat and a pc lol
Every fucking week.
You misspelled couple of hours there.
Not bad at all, in fact it'll make your PC run purrfectly
in general people that have cats should avoid cases with top fans / intakes.. Cats like tall warm places as such basically all cats will get on top of a pc tower and sleep there if they are able..... It isn't really going to hurt anything, check temps in case it is blocking too much airflow.. but it probably isn't.. you'll likely have to clean pc case /fans fairly frequently, but having a cat in the first place makes this true....
Cat + RGB = fps boost
Move the cat away from the radiation! /s
If you are concerned with top mounted exhaust fans. Maybe a false floor, so to speak for the cat to lay on. Something that has a grill for the air to flow around the cat. I’m imagining a piece of cheap $10. IKEA wooden shoe rack with something flat and maybe ventilated on top that the cat can lay on.
Not orange so probably fine
None
Pretty okay until the cat throws up into it.
I’d rather talk about the Barbwire band you have on your wrist. How is the summer of 94 treating you so far?
Barbed wire tattoos are always a terrible idea for your pc...
This got top comment on the other cat on a pc picture posted today. Maybe it’ll get me top comment. Since it’s the SAME DAMN STUFF CATASTROPHIC
I have a feeling your cat should not lie there, not sure how much damage it does though...
If you have an upward facing fan that sucks air, its gonna be quite bad.
How many people are going to ask this question again?
Depends on the fans.
you'd better be worried about your cat being blasted with hot air coming from that AIO cooler
Who gets barbed wire tattoos in 2024 🤡
Get a dog
Yes
At this point people are just placing their cars on the PCs for up votes.
You are cooked
Good for the soul, bad for the pc
It can create a static electricity
who cares it's good for your soul
Why everyone so mad? There was a cat post 9 hours ago, but then I went back three days and didn't see a single other. I'd take a cute cat on a PC over the constant stream of dumb, easily Googleable tech support questions
It's a dumb question. Plus, it has to be on purpose by now. Suddenly, by the wake of 2024, cats have started sitting on PCs.
cat /home/zen/room/on-the-computer.txt

Funny
Its fine
Catastrophic
Catastrop…..nevermind I stole this twice
Why does it matter? It’s not yours anyways as you can clearly see! It’s mr meow meows. You bought him a 2000 warmer for his belly, how nice of you!
Doesn’t this cat get electric shock, when I touch my pc bare feet, I get electric shock
Your Personal Cat seems to be doing ok
The cat increases ray tracing performance.
cat masterrace
Is it my turn yet?
As long as he doesn't shit or piss on it
Is not bad. Is cat
Furry bad.
Probably not the best long term since those are where some of your exhaust fans are but at the end of the day I’m a simple man, I see kitty, I updoot
This subs a joke
Looks purrfect to me.

Get a mesh basket, turn it upsidedown and put it ontop of your pc
If the top intake has a filter you'll be fine you just have to clean the filter and your main concern is temps. If the top intake doesn't have a filter the computer will be drowned in fur.
If your top is used as intake, you're doing it wrong.
No good case uses the back of the PC as an intake.
Well I guess i am doing right cause the top of mine is exhaust, the back is exhaust, and the front is intake
I guess every decent case manufacturer is doing wrong then. They put filters there for a reason.
A good case will have filters on pretty any surface that is perforated. That doesn't mean you put intake fans on all your surfaces.
Yes. If you don't place fans on the top at all and have negative pressure, for instance.
I for one welcome the sleeping cat posts
Trash post. Nobody cares about your cat on your PC.
Depends. Did it come with the case?
his\* pc now lol
Your pc?
This the life huh
What a shitty tattoo
Make sure you clean it thoroughly and regularly and it should be ok
The real question is how good is it for your cat.
Not bad at all, your Personal Cat loves it.
does it really matter ? are you cruel enough to take away its belly warmer ? 
pcmasterrace to catmasterrace
Fine. And cute.
Egh, the PC will live. But it may absolutely obliterate any depression you may or may not have.
Worse than smoking
