My cat wears a GPS tracker on his collar.

Yup. He does. He used to be quite the wanderer and wouldn't come home for a few days. It would freak me out so I searched and searched for a GPS pet tracker. I found one called the Tagg Tracker for dogs but that could be used with cats over 10 pounds. (Mine is 11 lbs) Three years later, he is now 13 and doesn't wander as much as he used to. He rarely leaves the yard and that is fine with me. But for those times when he does, I can find him with the GPS tracker, now called the Whistle Tracker. I have an app on my phone with a map and I can find out exactly where in the neighborhood he is.

You set it up on your computer and then download the app for your smartphone. It will send you text alerts when the pet is out of the "home" area and letting you know exactly where they are.

How interesting would that be? How far has he travelled away from home? Are you able to tell that from the GPS?

The farthest he's gone is 4 blocks away.

That would be handy. Our cat got out about four years ago. We had no idea where she was for three days.
