You may be surprised to discover this. In fact, this has been happening for nearly two years. Amazon Sidewalk is designed to keep your devices connected to the Internet even when they are far from your router. Consider the Ring camera installed in your backyard, for example. Sidewalk provides a more stable connection by allowing the camera to connect to other Ring cameras and use their Wi-Fi networks to communicate with the Internet. Sidewalk also serves as a failsafe. If your Internet connection fails, your Ring doorbell can connect to the low-bandwidth signal that is emitted by your neighbor’s Echo speaker and continue to send you notifications.

This new developer program should result in more cameras, smart scales, digital picture frames, thermostats, robot vacuums, and TVs using Amazon Sidewalk. It could also benefit street-level devices, which would no longer rely on cellular data to remain connected. Using Sidewalk, delivery robots could remain connected as they roll toward your home. Even fire departments could monitor data flows from Sidewalk-enabled smoke sensors.

Obviously, the success of this initiative is highly dependent on Amazon Sidewalk’s network. It’s astonishing for people to discover that the program’s coverage is surprisingly extensive. Amazon reports that 90% of US residents have access to signals provided by Amazon Sidewalk. This is a massive wireless network that has been hidden in plain site and is now fully functional.

People may wonder how many people will be able to tap into other people’s router bandwidth just by standing outside of their properties. How many Amazon Sidewalk users know what this actually is and how to disable it? Most importantly for Sidewalk’s future, how strong would the signal be on their block?

A music student named Abigail Laker spent a significant amount of money to ensure her beloved cat, Moose, was healthy after noticing some peculiar behavior. Despite her initial concerns, it was determined that Moose’s oddities were simply a result of his quirky personality rather than a more serious issue.

Moose Is a Weird Cat

The 23-year-old Salford, UK, resident adopted Moose last year and was determined to provide him with a loving forever home. However, during a visit to the vet, it was noted that Moose had some unusual breathing patterns.

Moose’s owner, a university student, initially didn’t realize there was a problem with her cat’s breathing. The vet noticed that the cat was breathing fast during a routine spay surgery and suggested that the owner observe her cat’s breathing habits. The owner realized that the cat’s breathing was abnormal and reported this to the vet. The vet did some investigating to rule out any serious health issues before performing the surgery. The owner realized that she had not noticed the breathing pattern before, as it was her first cat since moving out, and she had always had dogs in the past.

$12,500 for a Diagnose of Being a Weird Cat

According to VCA Animal Hospitals, the normal breathing rate for cats is between 15-30 breaths per minute. However, Moose’s breathing rate was significantly higher. Moose’s owner had to rush to the vet when his breathing rate was over 100 per minute. Despite undergoing several months of tests and spending $12,500, the diagnosis was that Moose simply had an unusual breathing pattern and no underlying health issues.

Moose’s owner reported that a specialist vet eventually diagnosed Moose and informed her that the cat’s breathing pattern was unusual but not harmful and was most likely behavioral. The diagnosis came at a cost of $12,500. The vet had conducted all the possible tests and found no issues with Moose’s heart or lungs, and concluded that Moose had decided to pant like a cat. This was a relief for the owner but also an unusual diagnosis and strange response.

According to Abigail, it’s definitely typical of Moose to be dramatic because he does have a crazy personality anyway, and it was probably a part of it.
