Cat GPS Trackers

[SimonMac]

MrsMac is a crazy cat lady, and one of them regularly goes missing for 5, 6, even 7 days on end, always comes home but is covered head to toe in fleas when he does, we are a mix of urban houses but also lots of countryside round us.

Curious to see where he goes, and try and track him when he is away, has anyone ever successfully used a GPS collar tracker, either one that can be uploaded once he comes how to show his route, or ideally a real time one, he's an "average" adult size cat.

Maybe he's having an affair with suity.

Then you only need a fancy GPS watch strapped to the cat to make this vision a reality. Of course, the cat will have to come back every day to be charged up again.

Or you could get it an iPhone and track it's location via that? Of course, that's got the battery issue too. What about a Nokia 3310, and just call it up and ask?

Loads of options here

It would explain the fleas.

Friend of mine put one on his cat with great success. Be prepared to be surprised; it sounds as if your cat goes off hunting but this cat was crawling over local factory rooftops, dozing by the fire in other people's sitting rooms and going to the local pub!

IIRC, the cat paid my old man a fiver to wear the device for it.

Or leave a long lasting red paint on its front paws. Could leave suity with some awkward explanations to the missus.

Any idea which one they used?
