This has been perfect for my two cats, it helps remove any panic when they don’t turn up for dinner! Great, easy to use and the app is brilliant!
My cat likes to roam about a lot and can disappear for days on end. The Tractive GPS tracker now shows me exactly where he goes 24/7. My cat is over 4kg and the tracker does look a bit bulky round his neck. It doesn’t seem too heavy though and he isn’t bothered about wearing it at all. I charge it up daily although it does last a couple of days at least. The live tracker drains the battery quite quickly so I only use this for short bursts when I want to fetch him in. He has lost the collar once when he caught it on a wrought iron gate but I was able to use the live tracker to find it. I initially thought there was a problem with the tracker not updating within the hour (although the GPS signal was working) but have discovered he has a favourite spot he sleeps in down the road for several hours every day! The app is easy to use and shows a lot of information. You have to pay up front for the subscription which would be easier to pay monthly and it would be nice to have a spare battery, so that I could swap it over straight away rather than have to make sure the cat stays in till the battery charges up again. I cannot find any spare batteries for sale – only for older models. The Tractive is far superior to my previous tracker which worked off a radio signal so you had to walk about trying to find him. It didn’t work if he was amongst the houses in someone’s garden, so quite often I could not find him and he kept losing the collars, so it was quite costly to keep replacing the tracker and buying new collars.
Very good product. Accuracy of the tracker is great and I can always find my cat when needed (using in a town environment with good signal coverage). The accuracy can obviously vary depending where you are. App works great and is easy to use. History can be unreliable as the location can jump around abit when not using live mode. The heat map is better to see where he is spending the majority of his time. Only downside is the battery really. Maybe just because it’s a new toy and I’m checking his location regularly the battery is discharging faster than usual. I would definitely recommend a spare.
Very good tracker, I have 2 of them for each of my cats. It’s great to know where my cats go and use the beeper function to get my cats in when I want them in.
Tractive is an amazing product that makes it extremely easy to track your pet. The Tractive app is the icing on the cake as it has many options to focus on your pet & its whereabouts. Highly recommended!
Great product for peace of mind to where your kitties are. One drawback is dependant on your area, network coverage can be limited and will have a lengthy period to updating the cats location, hence the 3 star rating for accuracy
We originally purchased this model – the IKATI cat tracker which was a bit of a let down. Customer service reached out and sent us the new blue model which has substantially better battery life and improved features. Don’t get me wrong it’s not perfect but I would say it is now what I would expect given the reasonable cost. Even the collar it comes with now is far superior to that supplied with the previous model. Considering the development they have made I would have no hesitation recommending their products and will happily purchase future models.
I was concerned the collar would be too big and heavy and the battery life would let us down but I was very wrong! It’s lightweight and isn’t a burden for our little girl and the battery life is brilliant! It lasts over 5 days if you don’t use live too much. Absolutely brilliant piece of kit and I would never be without it now!!
I did not use the provided collar because my cat slipped it off so easily. I used a waterproof flea collar which is quite sturdy. I only left 1 finger thick gap between the collar and the neck to avoid having to go and find it as well as the cat. Otis rather weighty for a small cat but great functions to save, share observe the history of travel and area of intense activity. Fascinating but now our cat does comeback to his new home so I am not sure whether I will continue to use it as she is pretty predictable about her territory.
Actually very impressed with this after reading the mixed reviews. Turns out our puss was crossing the main road and travelling about a mile away. Went to find him and it was very easy thanks to the tracker. But we’re mortified that he was crossing the main road, so he’s now a house cat and banned from going ou
It’s not 100% accurate but we now know which direction our aged Burmese goes on his wanders..gives peace of mind as he recently went missing before we got this collar ! It does fall off so maybe the design of that needs looking at but we are generally pleased.
I’m very pleased with tracker I’ve bought for one of my cats that loves roaming, it’s brilliant to have peace of mind where he is. I wish the battery had a longer life because I can’t follow him for very long. That is my only down comment.
Tractive may not always be 100% accurate but its close enough and really gives me peace of mind knowing where my cat is and where I need to start looking.
My cat is a wanderer and now I can track him and find him if he goes missing. He used to have away days and I used to worry if he had been run over by a car but now I can go and collect him and bring him home.
This tracker has been brilliant. Fact.
When it first arrived we were worried it was a little bit big and might impact our cats movement and freedom. We were wrong, it has no impact at all and she has no trouble wearing it.
The collar it came with is good quality but we changed for different collar by purchasing a separate clip from their website for around 15 (only available on their own website).
Easy to set up and the app is very user friendly once the initial set up is done. It is great to be able to see where she goes and how far she travels.
As with any GPS, you occasionally get the odd reading that is clearly not accurate but these are few and far between. You get a notification when battery is getting low (10%) which gives plenty of time to be able to get it charged again and depending on how frequently you set it to log their location the battery can last quite a while (we have it set to log every 5 mins, which is the most frequent, and charge it every 4/5 days.
Love tracking is very useful if you are concerned about where they are and has proved useful for us already. When tracking you can switch on a light and sound on the tracker itself to make finding it easy. This proved useful again when our little one decided to hide from us in the house and we couldn’t find her anywhere! Turned on the sound and we were able to find her in no time at all!
All in all, brilliant product, well worth the money and yearly fee (longer the subscription, the cheaper it is overall). Would highly recommend if you have an outdoor loving cat.
Bit bulky but other brands are the same. Good at keeping track of my Annie who is a wanderer. A second battery is on order so I can have one on her at all times. Charges quite quickly and accurate information on the app.
The Company sent me a spare battery free of charge so should be able to use the tracker for quite some time unless of course she decides to lose her collar which has happened before with our wee one. What she gets upto at night (her favourite time for hunting) is anybody’s guess. Would buy another one.
I am very satisfied with our Tractive. I track my cat constantly and I don’t worry about her anymore. Especially after clarifying her area, I can easily find her with the sound extraction feature. Also, when I send a sound signal while she is going far, she stops and turns back 🙂 I definitely recommend it.
This tracker has brought the utmost relief. My beautiful Bengal was run over and lost a leg on a very busy road close to my house. The tracker allows a perimeter fence to be set up and alerts via the App notify me when he’s left the fence. I can run out and find him easily, as well as being able to see where his favourite hunting ground is from the history. It fits neatly around his neck however the clasp could be stronger as it’s come off when he’s hiding in bushes. Saying that, with the light and sound feature, it was easily found! I love it and would thoroughly recommend it. I never write product reviews but this is amazing and worthy of one.
I love being able to see where my cats are especially as one likes to stay out over 24 hours. But also worrying how far away one of them is going, but at least I’ll know which direction to look in if they go missing again (taken in by some well-meaning person!).
But as both my cats are just over 4kg the trackers are quite bulky on them and I think that is why they keep loosing them. We have permanently lost one after just a few weeks of buying them, as the battery ran out before we were able to retrieve it (due to thick bushes, a wire fence and a railway line). There is a newer model now available from Tractive where the gps is more accurate (which would have helped), but it is slightly bigger.
The support from Tractive is exceedingly good and they can’t do enough to help you.
The units themselves are quite small and the standard battery lasts about 2 days.
I have the extended battery and that is good for about 5 days.
The trackers are that good and the app is that good, i have one for each of my dogs.
For a bit of fun and to hide what they actually are, i have used some bow ties and hidden the trackers inside (still using the collar clamp so they are secure) – see the picture.
Also like the fact the battery is removable, i have several batteries and it is a two second job to swap them over.
Very easy to use, the tracker isn’t spot on perfect but it’s good to a few metres which is fine when he wanders too far to find him. I find the AR virtual reality setting the most useful. I’ve found myself getting competitive with the neighbourhood cats about activity levels!
It does look bulky but doesn’t impede him at all and weighs next to nothing
We have tried a number of different trackers but this is the best by far. We paid up front for trackers and membership so quite a lot all in one go but split over the year is not expensive at all, given the reassurance it gives us. We are able to easily find our cat when needed we’ve used it at night and he was exactly where it said he was and can check he’s okay when he is playing out in the day.
The app is easy to use and updates quickly.
The collar is fairly chunky given our cat isn’t massive but he seems happy enough with it on and has not stopped him bringing us home shrews so hasn’t slowed him down!! We take it off and put it on charge when he gets home and he’s happy to have it quickly put back on again when he goes out again so we’ve had no issues with charge. Really thrilled with it, does exactly what we want it too and even better than we could have anticipated.
This product gives me peace of mind that my cat hasn’t disappeared off the face of the earth completely. It isn’t pin point accurate, but you can’t expect it to be really. It gives you the general location of your pet which will inform you as to whether you need to worry, or not. One thing it has done for me is reassure me that he doesn’t stray too fan and even though he may not come back for a while, if push came to shove, I’d be able to go to the general area the App tells me to, and I’d be able to find him.
The size of the device is fine, even though my cat is relatively small.
Battery life is good. The app also keeps you up to date as to how much battery is remaining which is useful.
Not convinced as to the overall price including the subscription, but at the same time, the peace of mind it brings is probably worth it.
We have been using Tractive for our cat for just under a month. She has managed to get it off once and we managed to locate it using live tracking. We found it in the middle of a field near our house, with the help of the sound feature which emits a high pitched noise.
Accuracy is a little off sometimes but that’s to be expected of a GPS tracker. We haven’t found her to be too far away from where the tracker is showing her.
The size of the tracker may be an issue for some cats as it is quite bulky, although our cat is quite small, weighing around 4kg and she seems unbothered by it. The weight of the tracker in itself isn’t heavy and you can use it on your cats own collar rather than one provided if it’s more comfortable for them.
The main drawback for me would be the price of a subscription. It is quite expensive if you go for the monthly option and we bought it expecting it to be around 3 a month as stated on the website, but later on found out this was only if you purchased a yearly or two-yearly subscription rather than a monthly. I feel like for the added 2 a month for Tractive Care more than one replacement tracker per year should be available, especially if your cat is like ours and travels quite far into places unaccessible to you.
Overall, we would highly recommend Tractive as it as helped located our cat and that’s the purpose of it, but we feel the cost of a monthly subscription is way too expensive and Tractive Care is not worth the hassle as one replacement tracker a year would not suit most cat owners.
The device is large, which is fine for my cat (7kg!) – see image, it’s clear my cat is not at all concerned with wearing it!
Initially I found the GPS to be inaccurate – often darting from street to street. I contacted Tractive customer service, who provided clear instructions on resetting the GPS – they were able to check the devices data and accuracy remotely – the result is amazing. My cat (Domino) even lost his tracker via the quick release collar, and I was able to track it to a neighbours house – they’d found it and had it in their kitchen.
Customer service have been brilliant, and I’m glad I bought this – would recommend! Battery life also is great, if you don’t use live too often it lasts 4 or 5 days!
The tractive cat tracker us amazing . We can now keep an eye on where he goes and when he doesn’t come home . Gives us peace of mind . Excellent bit of kit and battery lasts days . I would recommend this to any cat owner who has a cat wich sometime stays out for a few days. Or just to see what your fluffy pal is up to .
I think it’s fairly accurate- the “heat” function seems about right as to where our cat goes. Quite large but luckily so is the cat and he doesn’t seem to mind it. Battery life could be a lot better. I am charging it overnight every couple of days, and it would be more if I used the track function more. Of the ones on offer this wasn’t the cheapest but seemed to be the best – for now. Just wish the battery lasted longe
Originally the device I received was faulty as I charged it over night, it displayed full battery but it died after 10 minutes and the cat managed to take his collar off! Amazon kindly sent me a replacement.
I was sceptical about the replacement however I’m now more than happy, I leave my cat out whilst I’m at work so it is handy for knowing if he has a 2nd home (He does!) and going out to get him on a night or before I go out if he isn’t wanting to come in. Location is very precise and battery although would probably last 2 days of constant use only needs charging for a couple of hours a day. Would definitely recommend. With regards to which subscription the basic monthly subscription is more than enough for me. Not sure I’d be that bothered about premium.
This is very accurate and certainly allows tracking of your pet cat/dog.
The one negative is the sound it emits which in all honesty is pretty useless as it is so quiet. Other than that highly recommended.
Have been using this for 2 weeks now, although a little bit scary to see how far my fur baby travels, at least I know where he is. Battery life lasts longer when ‘live’ mode is not activated, but it’s still new, so we like to track him! Very easy to set up and surprisingly accurate! Wish I had bought this a long time ago, my nerves may not be quite as shot to pieces as they are! Would definitely recommend
I’d been using one of Tractive’s competitors for our cat for the last couple of years. It had always just been ok – good enough to stick with, but there were always a lot of bugs etc.
When we switched to Tractive recently I was blown away. Firstly the collar just *works*. With Tractive, I can always feel confident that I know where the cat is and I can ensure he doesn’t stray too far. The app is beautiful and easy to navigate with a wealth of genuinely useful features. Lastly customer support is absolutely superb. Someone can always be instantly reached via the chat feature on the website. Highly recommended!
Really helpful to know where my cat is. Battery life is good and the device is easy to use. Love the addition of the activity / exercise tab to see how much exercise he is getting when out and about. This is peace of mind knowing I can find him if I need to!
Bought this for our 5-month-old kitten for his first outings outdoors. Great product. Battery lasts all day and really easy app to use on your phone to keep an eye on where your pet is. The light and sound feature also a godsend when you struggle to find them! Would recommend.
Does what it says on the tin. The cat does not have any objections regarding carrying it and it tracks him reasonably well. The overall package is a considerable sum, but well worth it if you travel with your 4 legged companion.
The only caveat is that the battery lasts ~ 4-5 days tops. So you need to carry your charger with your and/or have a spare battery (out of stock as of the time of writing). The charger cable is also unique to Tractive so you probably need one of those too.
I like that I can just go find my cat without shaking dreamies. It’s got good battery life and is very accurately. Now I’ve got one wouldn’t be without it.
The Tractive collar for my cat is great very accurate and gives you peace of mind. The app is easy to use and has some great features. Yes you have to pay for the subscription each month but so worth it as it is very accurate
You can turn a light on the collar from your phone which is great if you are in the dark. Would 100% recommend this product.
Very easy to set up and use. My cat barely notices the tracker and it gives me peace of mind that I can see where he is any time. Love the heat map as gives clear indication of his favourite spots to hang out. Having just been through the “my cat is lost” for 3 days, this tracker truly sets my heart at ease. Twice I’ve been out to find him since he’s had the tracker and he was easily located. Can’t beat it for ease of use and peace of mind.
The Tractive GPS cat tracker was purchased for my cat to use when he is on holiday at my mams. He’s always gone off and come back but can cause stress when for more than one day, so I thought this would help.
The tracker isn’t 100% accurate but that didn’t matter for the purpose I bought it, I just wanted to know the vicinity he was in and that he was still alive and kicking. I am sure this would improve with the premium subscription but I chose just the basic.
It is quite big but Gatsby is a small cat and it hasn’t bothered him. It has fallen off a couple of times and he’s come back without but we were able to find it easily with the GPS.
Overall it has a few quirks but a fantastic product that means my cat can do as he fancies and I can have a relaxing holiday.
The tracker is great – very easy to find our cat when he is running around outside. I use this as an alternative to taking our cat out on a leash as he is flat bound and has no other means of escape. He loves it, is free to roam without a clumsy human trampling through the bushes behind him and he can get into places that I can’t.
The only issue is that when he is jumping down from trees the tracker has on occasion fallen off – only when I have been watching him luckily but the collar is not as secure as it could be.
I have avoided this by adding a pocket to his harness.
Really pleased with this tracker. Our cat is quite happy wearing it and it’s easy to attach to his collar. It comes with a quality app which is well thought out and gets regular updates. You pay a subscription cost as with most other trackers and it’s fairly reasonable. We’ve been able to successfully locate and retrieve the tracker when our cat occasionally looses his collar, a good test! The accuracy is pretty impressive, and the light and sound feature is essential for finding it as you close in on it’s location. I wish it had a slightly better battery life, but it’s not too much trouble to charge it every 3 days or so.
