It’s like putting the cat in the microwave...
Absolutely no danger.
Worry more about the bacteria in your icemaker.
That said, do you realize how many EM waves travel through your body every day? Think about it: Cell phones, radio, TV, computers, routers, GPS, home devices, etc. No one is dying of those waves penetrating their bodies. Your cats are okay.
Lots of options to protect from all types of radiation.
With a cat at my side and many years of RF experience I tell you the risk is zip, zero, Nada. These are extremely low power devices.
It’s not a question of how dangerous, it’s simply not dangerous. At all.
Sorry about your last cat but some are predisposed to certain cancers, like all of us. It’s nothing you could have prevented.
Fear of EMF is the result of some anti-industrialist tendencies that began in the Scandinavian countries. Like man-made global warming, it’s a hoax with no scientific basis.
Just cover the heads of your pets in ordinary tin foil and they will be fine.
I think you would have to measure it to be sure.

Put your cat in Schrödinger’s Faraday cage.
On every one of our products, I measure field strength and calculate the RF exposure to humans for specific distances to the product (almost always, 20 cm, though some of our products require further distances). I am 100% confident every one of the products I have taken through certification-- almost a dozen now over my career-- was completely safe for human exposure.
And all these products transmit more RF power than a cordless telephone.
Please don't listen to the EMF paranoids. RF waves are NOT ionizing radiation, despite the hysteria.
I think this PSA belongs on this thread. Pet lovers, if you have cats or dogs, please never buy window clings, those gel like window decorations. Target is full of them right now, very cheap, to decorate your windows for Valentine’s Day.
Our beautiful YOUNG HEALTHY Balinese cat, Ciel, died from kidney failure after chewing on or eating these last July. We tried for a week to save her. It is still a heartbreak for this family.
They are toxic. Don’t buy them if you have pets.

I have an RF amp to up a WiFi router’s output to 2 watts to put into a big directional antenna to get great WiFi coverage for the backyard.
Not even a little bit. Ignore all that EMF hokum.
How dangerous is the EMF from cordless phones and routers for pets?
Are you talking CAT5, CAT6, or CAT7?
Unless your cat in capable or receiving RF in between 900 MHz and 60 GHz, it is invisible to WiFi.
You ever see “The Fly” remake. It will turn every living organism inside out.
Oh. And not to worry. That big ball of light in the sky doesn’t put out any radiation at all..
Of course I am being facetious and resorting to hyperbole like a liberal. No harm at all.
I’m an engineer, not a doctor, however, there is no known mechanism by which RF energy damages DNA - tissue heating is the only known provable effect, and that doesn’t hurt DNA.
RF exposure standards are based on tissue heating.
As an example, a wifi access point putting out 200mW at 1 ft is less than 1/10th the general public exposure standard.
My dog has been exposed to EMF for about 13 1/2 years. It didn’t effect him much when he was younger, but now he mostly just wants to lay on my bed all day.
Pets have routers?
