Cat Tracker

[fledglingFTB]

Hiya,

I'm looking into these and wondered if anyone uses a good one? What I'd like is:

• lightweight/unobtrusive
• waterproof
• links to an app so I can see the both the current location and track daily movement in real time

I can't seem to find anything that does all three

Thanks Bingo, I've seen Pod, but it seemed ginormous. I'll take another look. Quite taken by G-Paws if I can get it to work. I'm not sure I actually need real time, I do like the idea of a record of the cats travels. So I'd know where to find him.

Always use a quick release breakaway collar, avoid anything else, esp. the elasticated ones.

I started to wonder if a wi-fi enabled device was actually good for cats. Esp with what you hear about smartphones.

I've gone for G-Paws version 3 and a quick release felt collar from Pets at Home. It's not real time location, but for £30 at least I don't have to be super precious and as it's UK based I can test/return it quickly if needed.

My guess is that he'll chuck it off within 5 mins anyway

Thanks for all you help.

I'd rather lose the tracker on a quick release collar than risk an elasticated one. I was a bit at the elasticated collar bit. I had a cat that nearly died because of one, it's not worth the risk.

I'm confused Living which elasticated collar are you referring too? I've gone for a quick release

Sorry fledgling in bingo's post!

Tabcat used to be Loc8tors, which have always worked well for me. They have changed the design, I suppose that must be the problem?

Living, totally agree about elastic collars. Cause horrible injuries. If you're worried about cat losing the pod (being on the pricier end of the market), bing, you'd be able to find it if your cat were to shed a snap release collar anyway?
