I assume you're talking about the four legged kind. It would depend on you and how your body reacts to cat dander, and the dust from a litter box.

Personally, when I was at the peak of suffering from CHF, a cat is the last thing I would have wanted in my home, but cat dander and litter boxes cause me all kinds of discomfort, even before I contracted CHF.

I, also, couldn't stand room deodorizer, smoke, perfume, along with a lot of other things.  They all seemed to make it harder for me to breathe.

So, no one is going to tell you that you can't have a cat with CHF.  However, if breathing becomes more difficult, with a new cat, then not having it, would seem to be something you would do.
