As you can see on this link ·"else" has many possible translations in Spanish. the most appropriate one in your sentence would be If not= si no. http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=else A possible translation to your sentence: Gato Palirrojo, por favor, no duermas debajo de la carretilla, que si no en un descuido puedo atropellarte. Or a more free version: Gato Palirrojo, haz el favor de no dormir debajo de la carretilla, no vaya en un descuido a atropellarte.
