Outdoor Cats Are Using $500 Starlink Satellite Dishes as Self-Heating Beds

The devices—developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX—have a warming feature to prevent snow built up from disrupting the signal

“Starlink works great until the cats find out that the dish gives off a little heat on cold days,”

For those concerned about cats outside in cold weather, Taylor clarifies they do have access to heated cat house. But even when temperatures reached minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit, the kitties still used the satellite dish as a $500 cat bed. “When the sun goes down, they head back to their house,”

Not a word was said about what the frequencies are doing to the animals.

[Secret Agent Man]

I dont know which frequencies Starlink uses. Or at what power.

Not all frequencies are dangerous.

Some are beneficial. I use equipment daily that put out biologically beneficial frequencies.
