Check your owners manual, at room temperature the indicator should be in a certain position. On my older BK there is a nut on the back that I loosen to move the needle to where it should be sitting at room temperature.
 
How old is the cat?
 
That's why.
New cats are hyperactive. It'll settle down once it's grown to adulthood....

Nothing to worry about during the first cord of burning

Any of you BK guys ever install a thermocouple to monitor the cat temps?
 
Yes I have. It varies a lot though during a burn, during a season, wood species, air setting, etc.
Hard to draw conclusion.
