Does anyone know if it’s safe, radiation-wise, for a cat to sleep on a warm computer monitor? She loves the nice heated surface, but I have a nagging worry that I’ll have a cancer-ridden feline in five years if she’s up there too often.
Am I worrying over nothing, or should I invest in one of those self-warming cat beds?
Thanks!

Its OK for the cat,bad for the computer,your computer cant ventilate correctly if in fact its turned on,besides getting a hair ball that will clog your moniters components.Your computer s life expectancy will suffer,however,if its turned OFF with a cover over it,no problem!! 
I agree. OK for the cat, bad for the monitor.
Most of the “bad” radiation in a monitor comes out the front. You are getting a lot more exposure than your cat is.
Of course, there was that Funniest Home Video bit of a cat sleeping on top of a television, startled by a loud noise, and rolling off (still asleep) to land with a graceless and audible “thud” on the floor.
A friend of mine who repairs TVs told a client that his children shouldn’t sit so close to the tv because it could cause sterility, So the man grabbed the cat and ploped it right in front of the tv!!
