Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (6.5 lbs+), Real-time Pet Location Tracker, Health & Wellness Alerts, Battery Life Up to 7 Days, Breakaway Cat Collar Included (Dark Blue)

I will have to admit I was a little sketchy about it. It is the size of a matchbox but more like a light weight matchbox car, but it is not heavy and it does not seem to bother my cat at all . I was using an airtag. After a few attempts to locate him with the with the air tag. Move to another location he’s near. No not ok. Like no not okay. Each minute is like an hour. I live in the city. It was the same with the tile . Of course I wanted the smallest thing possible. The stress it caused when it wouldn’t connect( itag and tile) It made me totally insane. My sister has a gps collar for her dog. They don’t make them for cats. I would prefer something smaller flatter as that is but not for cats even small dog one. I love my kitty. I had a little trouble with my charger, but it was more my fault. The only safe spot for me is my house and to just isolate your house only , as safety area on virtual fence is really is impossible. Because the satellites need a wide range. However, I know the dangerous spots. This allows you to put up virtual fences for bad spots and one for good spots. It gives you a heat nap of where he’s been during the day. So you could always wait and then put your safe fence around that area. It works out well. Other wise it seems like he’s running around when he’s really just in your house. So now I adjust the safe fences according to his movements. It’s nice that you can share it because my daughter will call and say is he out of the house because she gets alerted to. I just tell her I haven’t set up perfect yet. Response much quicker than a tile or airtag and a much larger range with an address.It is worth the peace of mind. I hope they comeOut with a small one. You do have to join a service to even try it out but you have a 30 day trial and it says you can get your money back.. since my cat is a dodger it was worth it. I also like that I could put it on whatever collar I want.. I opt for the ones that have elastic rather than a total breakaway because I sometimes walk him on a leash. So I really do say try it out 30 days. You got nothing to lose. I’m keeping in mine. If they come out with a smaller one, I will be very happy believe me. I’m tempted to put the itag on him as well. But this also makes a chirp noise if you hit to locate them inside your house. I also never take my cats collar off because that’s how the cycle starts. They get out lose the collar people think they’re a stray they don’t read to chip. Because they won’t take them to a vet. I take care of a few Ferals and I can tell you that I am sure that that’s how they started out. Breaks my heart. So I will hope for a small version or for one that is built into a collar, but for now I am happy. It also tells you how active your cat was and other cats around your neighborhood kind of like a Fitbit. Where is your kitty right now? I know mine is safe. ( stick on tile same size as AirTag and just as vague)

I really cannot complain about the tracker as it has met my expectations given the other options available. I have been using the tracker for about four months.Love power saving mode - battery will last for weeks as long as device is within my WiFi range (and not using GPS live tracking or GPS normal tracking). My cat is almost always within WiFi range of my home, so he seldoms goes beyond that area. So I just charge the battery every few weeks.Love virtual fences - the options for creating virtual fences that are Safe or Danger zones is nice. The normal safe zone is the WiFi range around my house, and if the tracker goes outside of WiFi, I will get an alert within a few minutes. I just wish it would allow more than five virtual fences (combination of safe and danger fences) since my cat stays over at different family homes frequently.Love GPS Live tracking - on a few occasions where my cat got outside the Safe Zone (WiFi range), the GPS "Live" tracking worked well in my area. I was able to find my cat easily a few homes away using "Live Tracking". The battery does drain faster obviously when in Live tracking mode since it is updating the location every few seconds. so you really can't go that long in Live tracking mode when trying to find my cat (I am guessing it would last an hour or so), but that does not bother me since I only use Live Tracking in emergencies. When using normal GPS tracking (when outside the WiFi power saving area and NOT using the emergency Live tracking), the device would probably not consume the battery that fast since it is only updating the location very 10 minutes or so (or the 20 minute real power saving mode). But I don't have an estimate on how many days the battery would last since I have not tested that.Love family sharing - As I mentioned earlier, my cat stays over at the homes of others. So other people can also use the app and tracker, and have Safe Zones within their WiFi range of their home.Love the notifications - I get notifications when my cat is outside the Safe Zone (WiFi), or battery is low, or battery is fully charged.Love the size - I have a 10 lb cat, so the size does not bother him. It is not that huge of device, like slightly smaller than the size of and actual mini-candy bar you give out at Halloween. And I do not have the collar on him all the time, only when he goes outside.Just FYI....I used my old 3/4" wide collar with the device. I did not use the much narrower collar provided with the device, so I have no critique of the provided collar. I only used the rubber surround provided with the device, and then easily mounted the rubber surround on the 3/4" wide collar I had. I am not sure why someone would use the additional plastic clip since that would make it more uncomfortable for the cat, and make it harder to remove the device for charging.The only two wishes. You have to remove the device from the collar and use the specialized battery charging clip to charge the device. So I wish I could just leave the device on the collar and plug in a mini-USB plug or something like that. And like I previously mentioned, I wish it would allow more than five virtual fences.Summary - It works well and provides wonderful peace of mind.
