Is it dangerous for a cat to sleep on top of, or next to an electric water heater?

Our cat used to do this in our old apartment, and it was covered with clumps of kitty fur, so in our new one, I just moved the litter to a new carpeted closet. Problem: He has a problem knocking his water bowl over, the carpet in the closet had some dried kitty litter on it, I%26#039;m sorry but wet cat litter and carpet smell ... ick. Not great. The other day he overshot is litter box, I cleaned the urine up just fine. The wet cat litter smell persists.





So would it be dangerous to move him into the closet with the electric heater? I don%26#039;t believe the outside gets hot, I%26#039;m just worried that perhaps the cat hair would cause a problem.





Also ... I%26#039;ve used vinegar, baking soda, carpet shampoo and pet deodorizer ... any other tips on what the heck to do with that closet?

haha, actually i used to keep the litterbox in the closet with the waterheater at my old apartment.


perfectly fine. the cats ignore the waterheater completely. they didn%26#039;t mess with it and it didn%26#039;t mess with them.





As for the carpet... if the urine soaked through the carpet to the padding underneath there is really nothing you can do except to cut up and replace that bit of carpet in there. It%26#039;s that padding that you can%26#039;t get to with the cleaners to get rid of the smell.
