"We R tube sniffers. 5670 / 6922 types? Frequently. 6N6P's? Not as frequently. 5998's? Once. "If your cat doesn't actively try to get to a hot pot or pan, it (probably) won't actively try to get to a hot tube.
My cat essentially lives on my desk whenever I'm in the office, and has never tried to even just sniff at a hot tube. Cold ones, yes. Hot ones, not once.
They're (usually) a whole lot smarter than people give them credit for.
I was very careful at first, only having the amp on while I'm in the room, and putting a little basket over the tubes while they were cooling down. After a few days I was sure that my cat isn't interested in hot tubes, and I haven't bothered to keep an eye out since.
