Tractive has been an absolutely invaluable tool for peace-of-mind for our indoor-outdoor kitty, and has been a constant source of entertainment to boot!First, the device itself. It's small, compact, and clips nicely on a collar - it's incredible how much this technology has advanced in just a few years! Our kitty wears her Tractive all day, every day, except when it's charging, and she has NEVER been bothered by it. In fact, it's compact enough that it can get lost in her floof! It doesn't move or bounce around, doesn't get caught, and the break-away collar is safe for her. The recently-upgraded charging station is also a HUGE plus, and it's easy to charge and charges quickly.Second, the service. The GPS service is, in our experience, as reliable and accurate as you would need for this purpose. It's not going to give you accuracy down to the inch - though Live mode can come pretty close - but it's plenty good enough to track our cat's movements all around the neighborhood, including when she's in some brush, under tables, or getting into all other sorts of trouble. It also tracks her fairly well indoors.And most importantly, the app, interface, and user experience. The Tractive app is WONDERFUL, and does an amazing job of providing a visual layout of where our kitty has been, when, and what her overall activity level is. It's become an essential part of our mornings to wake up and look at her activity overnight and gush about the various places she's explored around town. The long-term activity tracking is a super FUN feature - how cool is it to see that your cat has traveled 20 miles over the past week, and to see all her little journeys? The "no-go" zone alerts are a great way for us to keep an eye out when she might be straying too far away. And on the rare occasions we can't find her or she doesn't come when we call, the LIVE feature is invaluable, especially with the little light and noise alerts. The noise alert in particular is REALLY smartly designed - it's quiet, but it's clear, and that quietness is intentional so it doesn't disturb the cat. We haven't had to use those features often, but have been SO grateful for them when we have needed them.Tractive has been a ton of fun, and has helped us better understand our cat - and appreciate just how much fun she's having tearing up the neighborhood every night. On top of that, the peace of mind of knowing we can track her down if she ever gets lost, AND the fact that we can monitor her activity and make sure she's healthy (because so much of her activity is at night while we're asleep!) has provided immense reassurance.We've got a few neighbors that use AirTags to track their cats, and Tractive is better in so many ways. The history tracking and alerts are game-changers, the interface is better and more interesting, and the tracking has been more consistent and more accurate.Tractive is absolutely worth it, and if we ever lost or broke the one we have, we'd buy another one instantly. There are very few things that cost $10/mo that bring us more joy and reassurance. Unqualified recommendation.

I tried to keep my cat indoor-only but like Houdini, he always found a way to go on walkabout. Fitting him with Tractive Cat Mini was a concession toward his happiness and my peace of mind.Location: this has been dead-on accurate and such a huge relief. Recently, I wasn't able to return home before dark and got a notification kitty was 2 blocks away from our house. I drove right to the address shown in the app, activated the flashing light, called him and bingo, less than a minute later he came right to me and I got him home safe. I have also located him at other areas of the neighborhood during the day and when found he always blinks up at me rather bewildered, like "how did you know where I was?" There have been a number of other times I want to know exactly where he is and this tracker shows me. My only "wish for" is that live tracking is available in the 'safe' aka wifi zone. Sometimes I can shut down the program, restart, and have that option, but not always. I know the safe zone is for power saving but sometimes it's more important to me to know precise location on the property and the wifi/radar tracking is occasionally iffy.Battery: tracking my cat 8-10 times a day for a minute or two each time seems to use about 10% or less per day (kitty is only allowed out during the day). As I learn to trust both tracker and kitty, I'm getting more comfortable not charging the tracker every night, and am satisfied with battery performance. I recently downloaded the program update, so look forward to even more improved location and battery life with the update.Comfort: not gonna lie, even the 'mini' takes up quite a bit of furry real estate. But my guy is 20 lbs (ahem, "big-boned") and seems to wear it comfortably. I purchased the 'harness clip' for the Tractive and a dog-sized harness to fit him thinking that would be more comfortable having the tracker weight on his shoulders than having the tracker directly under his chin. Kitty doesn't like the harness on/off routine so for now we'll stick with the collar. The collar itself is very good quality and snaps on and off exactly as it should. It is easy to adjust for size and weight of cat (breakaway point). I took the bell off; just something to get in the way and didn't really produce much sound to warn wildlife.Sound locator: very, very quiet. Hard to hear unless very, very close. The cat will hear it though, and perhaps could be trained that when the song plays it's time to either come home or start looking for parent to give them a lift.Attachments: I found the best option for us is the flexible rubber encasement that fits onto the collar. It's easy to remove the tracker to charge and reinstall it. That said, though handling carefully, after 3 weeks of use it has already torn and I'm currently securing it with rubber bands. I've ordered replacements, but more robust durability of this item would be most welcome to prevent loss.Subscription plans: I like that I can pay month to month, which has been super helpful during the adjustment period to see if Tractive will be a fit for me before committing to a long-term plan. Tractive is a good fit, so at some point I will consider a longer subscription to lower the monthly cost.App: great app, easy to use, and accurate so far. The out-of-safe-zone and re-enter notifications have worked perfectly. It's fun to see the other Tractive kitties in the neighborhood and interesting to keep up with my guy's fitness/sleep stats. But where app really shines is location, location, location. Friends I show this to are amazed and fascinated. A tip if you don't have the upgraded plan that keeps track of history: screen shot your cat's location or history map each day to keep a record of their travels. That can be texted to someone helping locate/pick up kitty. Again, the ability to live track in the safe-zone would be a bonus for more peace of mind. Pretty please. :-DValue: with coupons/sales, I was able to purchase the tracker for under $40. I feel the tracker itself is well-made and a good value. I've been recommending it to friends and they are enthusiastic.All in all, the Tractive Cat Mini has met and even exceeded expectations on just about every front. My cat is happier, gets more exercise and I am 1000% more relaxed during his absences knowing I can locate him any time I need to. I highly recommend this product for worried pet parents. Please keep working on development to decrease tracker size/weight without losing too much battery capacity, add live tracking to safe area, and beef up rubber encasement attachment. Then it will be absolutely perfect!The big guy and I thank you, Tractive. This was just what we needed!

Es compacto, marca bien el GPS y es fácil de entender, tengan en cuenta la suscripción aún a la aplicación pero vale la pena.Lo único que no me.gusta es que la.bateria no dura lo que menciona

Love these trackers! Love the peace of mind knowing where my fur baby is when outside during the day. It really earned its keep when he got swept down a drain in a horrendous storm and spat out into the water catchment 700 metres away. I had to wade into the reeds to rescue him. Would never have found him without the tracker! They can be a bit temperamental in bad weather but that’s a small price to pay. Charge lasts about 4 days.

Much better than airtag. Know exactly where my cat is roaming and can call him when he is in earshot. Collar secure and good battery life. Found out about it from sister who tracks her dog in the country.

Para mejor tranquilidad; debería de tener una opción de localización al momento de salir de casa; porque la zona segura es muy extensa y muchas veces la casa es menos en radar; sin embargo funciona perfecto para mi mascota que es una traviesa gatita

Funcionaba bien, la batería duraba hasta una semana, aunque mi gato estuviera fuera de la zona de ahorro de batería mucho tiempo. 4 meses después, la bateria dura menos de 12 horas.
