Probably not. Except for a couple parts near where the cord comes in,
the voltage inside a receiver is about 12DC or lower. Even the 110v
parts are well insulated except for a few solder spots.

Pee is electrically conductive enough to could hurt on 12V.


But it ain't a continuous conductive stream, at least according to
Mythbusters. At least for humans, standing up. Not sure about a cat,
being lower to the ground and all.
