Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2005Tracking Device
I have a cat that perpetually likes to hide & go into seclusion. I don't like that. Two other cats we have never do that, and don't bully the 3rd one, and we'd rather then 3rd one be "out & about" to socialize with the others rather than hiding all the time. Sometimes she hides so strongly, you can't find her no matter what you do. So I am wondering if they make a device--something you can hang around their collar say--that can track them, something where you could push a remote control or something and it could find them. Tips? LRH > I have a cat that perpetually likes to hide & go into seclusion. > I don't like that. Two other cats we have never do that, and [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > LRH Yes.

When mine does that, I leave her alone... I suggest you do the same with yours. Let the cat live its life instead of bossing it around all the time. ;) It can sleep anywhere it wants, it doesn't NEED to hide where others can't see it. I don't like it hiding, ever, for any reason, not even for that. It's not a sleeping thing so much as it is that she becomes anti-social, and that's a no-no in my house. Thanks to the guy for the link by the way. I did already plug in one place I knew she liked to hide, so that's part of the plan also--plugging & blocking all the hiding places so it's not possible for her to hide.

Are you afraid of your cat Larry? Is he going to attack you when you aren't looking? You are one strange dude. Justin > Thanks to the guy for the link by the way.

I want it to be out & about where I can see it, where other cats can socialize with it, I don't want it assuming "hermit mode." So if it hides I want to be able to track it down and extract it and place it back amongst the others as opposed to it being a hermit all the time. Simple as that. LRH >>You are one strange dude. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > LRH Don't you have anything better to do than worry about your cats social life? Would you rather they fight? Justin I asked for a solution to a situation, and I got it. That's all I need, and all that I (ahem) ASKED for too. LRH > I asked for a solution to a situation, and I got it.

Cathy > I asked for a solution to a situation, and I got it. That's all I need, and > all that I (ahem) ASKED for too. > > LRH Well shucks, no reason to get testy, I was just curious why you can't let your cats....be cats. Cats like to hide. It's what they do. They hide. They sleep. They eat. You *do* feed them and let them sleep, don't you? Justin > I asked for a solution to a situation, and I got it.

Unfortunately for you, you cannot control the whole world. ;) >I asked for a solution to a situation, and I got it. That's all I need, and >all that I (ahem) ASKED for too. > >LRH Hey Larry! No problem -- I'm sorry you're running into such difficulties here. There's a tactic on this group that works exceedingly well if you would be willing to employ it. Just announce that you will no longer be posting to the group until everyone stops posting to this thread, as you got the info you wanted and would like the thread to die. Works every time. eq >>> You are one strange dude. >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Justin LRH is famous for these types of posts. Quite frankly, I don't know if I believe he even has cats. >> You are one strange dude. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > and extract it and place it back amongst the others as opposed to it being > a hermit all the time. Simple as that. You really do have utterly bizarre attitudes. I am interested - are you someone who likes everything spotlessly clean all the time, and everything precisely in its place? > It can sleep anywhere it wants, it doesn't NEED to hide where others can't > see it. I don't like it hiding, ever, for any reason, not even for that. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > LRH Oh, it's you again. Have I mentioned you're pathetic? Just in case I haven't, I thought I'd mention it. You're pathetic.

Cats aren't automatons who behave like you want them to they are living thinking persons and some cats don't want to be as sociable as others just like some people are shy and some are extroverted!

You could track down a lost animal a lot easier. How hard would it be to make those microchips with this capability? Justin > It isn't a bad idea I suppose, a "lo jack" for pets.

Based on what I could glean from the AVID site, they can only transmit with enough power to be detected by the scanner in close proximity to the chip. >Sometimes she hides so strongly, you can't find her no matter what you do. >So I am wondering if they make a device--something you can hang around their >collar say--that can track them, something where you could push a remote >control or something and it could find them. http://www.petsmobility.com/ Thank you very much for the link, I appreciate it.
