New Live Cat GPS Tracker
Please post your comments, suggestions and questions regarding the Cat GPS Tracking device below. We will post the answers in the Frequently Asked Questions page of this website.
Quite interested in this product and it’s availability. Have three cats we really love a lot and want to be sure we can locate them if they get out of house.
thanks.

Interesting… and would love to track all my cats as I have 6! The only thing I didn’t like was the tracking system is quite large and requires a harness, which I doubt half of the cats in my household would tolerate. Pity the microchip cannot be used for tracking
Now there’s an idea ….!!!

I dont think this is a real time tracker and you will not be able to locate them when they go out, but you will be able to find out where they have been when they return
really starting to think about these as my cat went on a 24 hour walkabout and had whole family out searching until she decided to make an appearance, would have loved to know where she was and what she did shame it has to be on a harness as price sounds far more reasonable than other gps i have seen, however they attach or slide onto existing collar.. any chance this one can too?
I like the idea but this product would be fantastic if (as other previous comments) it was a bit smaller (as I have a small cat) and if it could do real time and link to a page on a website. Maybe a booster box is located in your home, to help with the signal relay?? I would love to locate her when she has gone missing. Any chance of developing this further? The chip idea would be the best solution but I guess not possible.
Here in North West Donegal we have limited satellite mapping, i.e. Google maps isn’t very detailed (This is problem #1)
I’ve have had two cats in the two years I’ve lived here, both have vanished which leads me to believe either they have been hit by a car (nearby road) or wondered to a nearby neighbours house and been killed by his dogs?
Needless to say I am very interested in this technology to trace the whereabouts of a third possible cat.
However I feel that there are certain issues with this technology, these harness are too big and liable to annoy the cat, as is the tracking unit. Also you have to plug the tracking device in to find out your cats journey (and not it’s current location)
Like Karen Callery has said the microchipping solution would seem ideal, although i’m guessing that you would then need your own mast to track the pet? else how would the unpowered microchip actually function?
I would be interested for somebody to give me a product which could do all of this. Maybe i’m asking far too much and maybe the technology will be available in the future??
Here’s hoping!
does the gps tracker come with cable and cd for instalation also does it come with harness? basically i just want to know what all i would be getting for 59.99
Nice device, one problem,
its way to big, has to be the size of a small watch.
I look at this device and its huge compared to the cat.
cheers,

I would be great when:
- the gps tracker would track the cat realtime on a website and a iphone/android app.
- the gps tracker would be smaller.
- statistics of the cats trip would be visible: distance a day,week month. favorite spots.
- Alarm when the cat gets in a area where he isnt allowd to go. Possibilty to draw that area.
- Alarm when he moves faster then a certain speed. When the cat got stolen by a car.
- Alarm by sms, mail or app.
My concern is safety. A cat’s collar must have the ability to open and release the cat. If it isn’t a safety collar, a cat should not wear it. If my cat is out and about and gets the collar stuck on a fence or branch, it will either pop open rendering the GPS useless, or, if it doesn’t pop open, it could strangle my cat.
When will the ‘live’ version be available
Saying this is a GPS tracker is misleading. Using mobile telephone towers to calculate position is not GPS.
