Dec 12, 2012 at 15:58 comment added Ohad As Tom believes above, there is a monad with two different enrichments. See Example 4.1 in John Power's ["Unicity of enrichment over Cat or Gpd"][1] which John Bourke mentions above. [1]:opus.bath.ac.uk/23104
Jan 23, 2012 at 15:05 comment added John Bourke Here is a very simple example of the same kind suggested by Finn and due to John Power: it is a monad on Cat which cannot be extended to a 2-monad and therefore cannot have a strength. It is the monad T on Cat whose algebras are categories C equipped with a endofunction on the set of objects ob(C) of C. It has value $TC= C + (N \times ob(C))$ where $N$ is the discrete category with set of objects the natural numbers. For the details of why it cannot be extended, see Example 3.1 of Power's "Unicity of enrichment over Cat or Gpd" freely available at opus.bath.ac.uk/23104
