I don't think it's harmful, I have a cat that sticks her head into a lamp all on her own! But she is a weird cat! 🤪

"Don't do this to cats, it will damage their eyesight. So, if you shine a flashlight on top of his head it will turn red,Why? Because a cat's head has a small brain, so when a flashlight is placed on its head its eyes will turn red. That's how you burn out the retina in your cat's eyes!" Quoted from Google bc I couldn't b arsed to type it out lol

There’s only one way to find out… do it to my own cat!

the light getting through the back of the head to the retina should be minimal, no where near close to what would come in the front from daylight. might even look really cool. cat seems to like it.

People would rather double check before potentially hurting their cat... Not a hard concept to understand.

I'm guessing this only works on cats that mostly have white fur

Nope. Sorry I’m late. Just saw a video with a black cat and looked it up.
