All things considered, SpaceX’s experimental Starlink satellite internet service is a success. Users are generally very happy with the service, and SpaceX launched 49 more Starlink satellites into Earth orbit last week. But Starlink customers beware: the sleeping cats are conspiring against you.

The Starlink satellite dish includes a useful self-heating feature to prevent signal degradation in snowy weather. But it turns out, and it shouldn’t come as a big surprise, that cats and kittens love space in a self-heating bowl.

In a photo shared on Twitter by Aaron Taylor, a Starlink customer, you can see five cats grouped together on a hot Starlink satellite. All of these cats have warm homes to sleep in, but as Aaron notes, they prefer to sit in a heated satellite dish while the sun is on their back.

The cats failed to disconnect Aaron from the web, although they did slow down his internet a bit. Unfortunately, it looks like SpaceX may have to install anti-cat technology in future satellite dishes.

SpaceX Starlink suggests placing the equipment in inaccessible places, such as the roof of the house. According to Aaron, his Starlink satellite position (off the ground) is only a temporary solution.
