They’re pretty tiny. “Mr Lee CatTrack" did this in 2014 with little more than a SIM card and a gps, which was small. This one doesn’t seem much bigger.

Back in 2012 I was using a Zoombak for my cats, which was designed for dogs. Eventually one of them started getting less and less fur under his collar because the Zoombak was wiggling back and forth as he was running, causing the collar to chafe.

He didn’t seem to mind it though, and eventually he’d recognize my car as I drove to pick him up. He’d jump into the back seat like a dog right when the door opened. I miss that fella.



There's small and there's small.

For a traditional cat collar, you might have an engraved nametag the size of a quarter. Even an apple airtag is clunky in comparison - and this thing looks several times the size of an airtag.

It's impressively small for something with LTE, and a multi-month battery life, it's just a lot bigger than a quarter.
