Cat Gps Tracker
5 Answers
Just lately, my darling little ****** has taken to clearing off all night. Particularly on a Monday night (no idea why Mondays). Mr BM and I are getting a bit peed off with walking the streets all night looking for pussy ;). It is particularly acute at the moment since due to a significant road closure the traffic through our little hamlet is awful. Plus we cant cope with the lack of sleep.
I have spoken to the local farmer who says he regularly sees the little ratter but to his knowledge he has never locked him in his barns (and in any event there is only one barn he cant get out of). I am going to post on our local Facebook page to indicate to people that whilst he might look like a stray (he is skinny, and he looks starving, but he is not, he is just lean and muscular) he isnt. He is in fact massively fit for a 14 year old cat and his regular kills are rats and stoats and he is very very strong. I recently met a neighbour who has known him for 2.5 years who thought he was a stray because he looked "starving", thus I get that well meaning people may think that he is a poor little stray who needs help. ASBO is such a tart he would happily accept such help (although I have been told "he doesnt interract much, he just throws disgusted looks"). He does also tend to just decide "I want to sleep here for the next 18 hours".
Anyway, he is getting older and his mummy is getting more neurotic. I am thinking of getting him a GPS collar so at least I know where the little so and so is. Plus Mr BM and him are in danger of massively falling out because Mr BM is such a sweety he did the night shift on Monday so I could sleep before a long day on Tuesday.
Has anyone any experience of such things?
I am concerned that given his active nature and our very rural location any collar would need to be a safety collar so he couldnt hang his stupid self but few of the cat trackers I have looked at refer to this type of safety.
Views and experiences welcome on cat/small dog GPS collars, please.

Is he an in cat or an out cat? Couldn't you just keep him in? I realise that does not answer your q, and I have no experience of the collar you are talking of. However you can get kudos trackers that hang on their bag so I expect they'd hang on a quick release collar if you cant finger a tracking collar that meets your requirements
