Okay for cat to sleep atop microwave?

Both my cats, but one in particular, have taken to sleep on top of the new microwave when it's not in use. (Of course, it's new!) Is that safe? I don't keep it plugged in when I'm not using it because one of them has a cord fetish, but that's a whole OTHER post ....

I don't thing there is a problem with it, especially if it is off... Kitties choose funny places to sleep!

If it's not in use and not plugged in it's just another object. An odd place to sleep, but finding odd places to sleep is what cats do.

I do suggest you wipe the microwave down before you use it, though, as wherever a cat sleeps tends to get some fur around it. When you open the microwave door it could stir fur up into the air. Then again maybe you like cat fur in your food? I think most of us are certainly used to it.

No kidding, and as soon as one of them finds a new place to sleep, it becomes the popular hot spot for them both!

I have one cat that likes to sleep atop the direct tv receiver that sits on top of the tv in the bedroom. It's a pretty good jump up there, so he gets to sit up high and snuggle up to something warm.
