I think the smaller rectangular Starlink antenna, as the one I just put up, would only hold maybe two cats. Fortunately it's on a pole high enough above my roof that even if it were horizontal in the snow it'd be difficult for the neighborhood cats to try that with. There is one in particular who has been on our roof before, but he's clumsy enough that if he tried to get on the antenna he'd likely fall to the ground — not that we'd particularly mind in his case......
