Abstract
Using the Bordered Floer theory of Lipshitz-Ozsv\'ath-Thurston we prove that the $(p,q)$-cables of any non-trivial knots are not Heegaard Floer homologically thin. Using the proof and a theorem of Zemke, we find a larger set of satellite knots which is a proper superset of the set of all cable knots, having the same property.
