I hope you discharged the CRT in that TV before your cat started nosing around inside it. The aquadag coating on all CRTs is in effect a large capacitor, and can hold a charge for a very long time--weeks, months, even years (!). BTW: I'd hate to hear of your cat being injured or even killed by that static charge, or by any other cause (Heaven forbid!). I'm sure you would miss her very much if anything like that were to happen to her. I have a 9-year-old mixed-breed cat, Kiki, whom I love very much, and I'd certainly miss her if I lost her for any reason. She doesn't poke around in dangerous places, though, so I don't think I have anything to worry about. BTW (2): I like your avatar, which shows one of your cats on top of a Zenith SC300 table model TV. That's one nice thing about the old CRT TVs--they were large enough for a cat to climb on top of. I once had a cat that liked to jump on top of my RCA CTC185, but my current cat couldn't do that with the flat panel I have now. She doesn't jump on the stand anyway (though she used to), so I don't worry about the flat set being knocked off and landing almost certainly on the screen.
