Tabcat V2 Cat & Kitten Tracker - No Monthly Subscription Fee | 2 Lightweight Homing Tags, Cases & Tracking Handset | More Accurate Than GPS | Track 2 Cats Indoors & Outdoors to 1" & 500 ft Range

This is by far the coolest thing I've bought in a very long time. It works extremely well. Unlike bluetooth or gps, which use your phone and an app, this is just a simple beacon and detector. Unlike bluetooth or GPS, this gives you *directional* hotter/colder locating. The one disadvantage is the range, but that's really not a big deal (for me) because just a little walking around will usually get you a signal. Some people have mentioned that it takes a little getting used to to follow the signal. As an electrical engineer, I was kind of expecting this, so it didn't surprise me. It basically comes down to understanding the physics of radio signals, and how different objects affect them. Metal objects, like cars, will block the signal. So if your cat is on the other side of a car, for example, the detector will "hear" the signal more strongly if you point it to the sides of the car which might make you think your cat is off in that direction. Soon as you walk around the car, it will start to point you to your cat on the other side. The signal is also subject to reflecting off of objects, like cars, steel buildings, or even some walls. It can even be *refracted* by some objects depending on its material. Remember, radio signals are basically light (actually, they ARE light, just at a lower frequency that you can't see). As such, they pass through some objects, bounce off of others, and even refract through others. Think of it like trying to locate a sound in your house. Sometimes it can be tricky with the sound bouncing off of walls and such, but you'll always find it. It's kind of like that. For example it may point you at your house making you think your cat is inside, but if you turn around 180 degrees, you may find that it was picking up the signal from behind you, reflecting off of your house. This will be obvious because the source will be stronger than the reflection. All that to say, if there are houses, cars, tool sheds, etc.. especially metal, they will block and bounce the signal around, but keep moving around and you'll quickly hone in on your cat. Another awesome thing about this tracker is that it has taught me a lot about my cats' habits. 2 things I've learned: 1) cats are instinctive hiders. I've found a lot of my cats' favorite hiding spots that I never would've known about before. 2) cats rarely, if ever, wander far (if they're fixed). When they don't come when you call, you may think they've wandered too far to hear you. That's almost never true. Cats are jerks and have no problem ignoring you, and chances are they are just hiding because that's just what they do. Hiding is a very strong instinct for them, especially if they got spooked by something. This tracker will prove to you that 95% of the time, they didn't leave; they're just hiding. Because they're cats. Anyway, this tracker is awesome. Not only does it give me peace of mind because I can always find them, it also gives peace of mind because it has taught me about their habits. To that extent, I don't worry so much anymore because I have a much better understanding of "what they're doing out there". I understand a part of their lives that I didn't before. Now when they don't come home for dinner when I call them, I don't think "oh no, has the time finally come? Are they gone?" (because that's usually how it happens. They just, disappear). Now I think, "she's probably under the shed ignoring me." Cats are jerks, but we love them anyway for some reason. The tabcat is worth every penny. Oh and the trackers are tiny and don't bother my cats at all.

Finally a simple tracker that works! Long Story - What started me looking at tracking device was my very soft spoken cat disappeared for 16+ hours a couple of weeks ago, missing dinner which never happens and after calling her for hours, then a sleepless night worrying, at 2:30am my neighbor woke up and investigated a noise heard coming from his metal storage shed he was in the morning before, and as he opened the door my cat darted out! no water all that time in 85+ degree weather Yikes! So I tried two fancy sit on your a** trackers for android phones GPS apps, one with a monthly fee, both had large collar units my cat wasn't happy about and both were $$$ PRICEY so they should work right? Nope! neither actually track my cat as closely as they should or as advertised, one was so bad it had my cat 2 houses away on the app and google maps when she was in the house under my chair! and one was use it for about a year when the batteries die throw it away and buy a new one wth! Both were sent back, thankfully money refunded and I started over. What was I really looking for - I want to be able to find my cat quickly within walking distant in my community without needless wondering around calling for her. I don't need to see her ever move over a period of time on my phone, she isn't known to go blocks away, she fixed and stays close to home, she's just independent and may not come when called or could get trapped in a shed again yikes! Honestly I didn't want another app on my phone and wasn't going to pay a monthly fee for sure, plus without internet/phone service the tracker would be useless anyway... That's when I found Tabcat V2 and I could be happier! It works as advertised imagine that lol. A simple small tracker device with no special collar needed, no internet or phone. Just add to her collar and being small it doesn't bother her at all with an easy to use handheld unit with lights and sound to show me where to find her. I keep it next to the front door, easy to grab it when I go out looking for her. Notables - batteries are replaceable and inexpensive, both the tag and hand unit are durable and well made with the tags having rubber protective covers included. Simple setup instructions, put it on her collar and the first time I tried it I found her within minutes after being out for two hours a couple of neighbors backyards away and its still working! Customer videos and positive reviews are real and can be trusted! The best part the purchase price includes two tracker units, both work with one handheld unit synced on different buttons, so my small dog got one too. Again I could not be happier and hope you find the same peace of mind I have!

Extraordinario, funcional y da bastante tranquilidad.

I have had excellent success with this product on my two cats. I have always been able to find them, even when they are hiding in a stone out building. Easy to use and set up. I have not had any issues with the battery going dead yet, and I have used it many times. Not too big for on their collars either. I recommend this for sure. **I have not tried to use it for extended meters. I have used it for up to 50 meters.

エアタグよりとても軽く、小さい。 値段も安く、使い方も簡単♪ シリコンゴムのようなゴムで普通の首輪に付ける事ができ、猫ちゃんも負担なく着けてくれています。 来客の度に狙って外へ出るのでとても助かります。 家の中にいても呼んでも出て来ない時もあるので、外出したままかと思い探すのにも便利です。 購入して良かった！

This is the best thing ever! It leads me right to my cat and if I lose his collar then the tracker will find it. It goes off after 45 seconds, but then you just have to press the channel button again and it keeps on looking. This has saved so much worry and I can get my cat inside whenever I need to. I tell all my neighbours with outdoor cats about it. Thank you so much for this wonderful product!

Ça fait gagner beaucoup de temps et d'efforts surtout si votre chat a décidé de ne pas répondre et de ne pas rentrer. La direction de l'axe de recherche est efficace sur plusieurs dizaines de mètres et surtout à proximité vous êtes sûr que c'est bien là qu'il faut implorer votre chat de bien vouloir rentrer. P.S. dans les bois il peut être perché au dessus de votre tête.
