RSSOld monitor = cat bed
Oskay2 turned an old monitor into a cat bed, seems like the cat likes it, or it's just a clever background image - "JellyBean hangs out in Harley's converted Apple Two-Page Monochrome Monitor, which has been repurposed into a cat bed. I removed the CRT, circuit boards, and added the towel and some catnip. " - Link.

Check out these instructions for how to to turn an old monitor into a trash can. I use one of these at my office and it gets a lot of compliments from visitors. Fits a standard 13 gallon trash bag.

THIS IS A BAD IDEA UNLESS YOU HATE YOUR CAT (even then it is a horrible idea)
here is the break down of just what you are exposing the cat to. (thank you to national geographic January, 2008):
plastic casing: pvc (containing "highly toxic dioxins"), brominated flame retardants.
the monitor circuit boards: lead("a neurotoxin"), mercury, and flame retardants
i recommend NOT doing this. especially if you don't know what kind of monitor you have. CRT, cathode-ray tubes, "in computer monitors and TVs hold up to eight pounds of lead"-National Geographic. recycling is good, just not like this. go to recyclers.
