Okay, so I caved and got the Tractive GPS tracker for my escape artist cat, and WOW—why didn’t I do this sooner? Here’s the real tea:

First off, the live tracking is *chef’s kiss*. My cat thinks he’s James Bond sneaking under fences, but now I get updates every 2-3 seconds. Found him mid-heist in the neighbor’s garden last week thanks to the app’s flashing light feature. (He looked SO offended.)

The virtual fence? Game-changer. Set up a ‘no-go zone’ near the busy road, and now my phone yells at me if he wanders too close. Also, the activity stats are low-key hilarious—turns out Sir Floofington walks 3 miles nightly. Who knew?

Battery life’s decent (5 days for us), but heads up: subscription is mandatory ($5+/month). Worth it though? Absolutely. My only gripe: the rubber collar clip tore after a month. Fixed it with duct tape because I’m classy like that.

Pro tip: Screen-shot your cat’s location history if you want bragging rights about their ‘adventures’. Mine apparently has a secret second family two streets over. Rude.

10/10 would buy again—even if just to watch my cat’s face when the tracker beeps and ruins his stealth mode.
