Hello,

My brother has a cat that has strayed and gone away for 2 days.

He was wondering if it was possible to use a radio tracking device on
his cat and if so are there any companies that you could recommend
for finding out where ones Cat has strayed too???

Much Love,

Sandra

Basically, a tracking collar with any useful range and endurance would
be too heavy for a cat. In any case, if a cat roams, any collar it
wears *absolutely must* be of the breakaway kind.

Two of my cats disappear for extended periods: I start worrying about
Fleagor after three days, and about Snowball after a week.

Howdy,

I've seen small ones on birds (pigeons etc.) on the Discovery channel, so
I'm sure there's ones light enough for a cat. Cost may be a factor
though...
