Tractive Cat Tracker: Keeping Tabs on Your Cat Made Easy
If your cat is the type to wander, the Tractive Cat Tracker can give you peace of mind without being overcomplicated. The device clips onto their collar and lets you see their location in real time through the Tractive app. It’s lightweight, waterproof, and designed so cats barely notice it’s there.
What’s great about it:
Real-time GPS tracking that updates live, so you always know where your cat is.
Activity and health tracking features (rest, calories burned, active minutes).
Works worldwide with unlimited range, which is huge if you move or travel.
Waterproof and durable, so it stands up to adventurous outdoor cats.
What to keep in mind:
You’ll need a subscription plan to access GPS data, which adds an ongoing cost.
The battery lasts 2–7 days depending on usage, so you’ll need to recharge it regularly.
Works best outdoors; indoor GPS can sometimes be less accurate.
Even with those trade-offs, many cat owners find it worth it for the peace of mind alone. Knowing you can check your cat’s location at any moment (especially if they slip out unexpectedly) is something a regular collar or tag can’t provide.
