The new cat 6 mini has atrocious GPS. When it doesnt get GPS connection (which is most of the time tbh) - live tracking will just keep stationary at the last sent location without actually updating the GPS. So considering that, your tracker might as well be 10 minutes of cat walking away from your p

Bitte bitte bitte holt euch ein GPS Halsband von Tractive (Tractive Cat Mini S)š mit dem kƶnnt ihr ihn viel leichter finden... Ohne den Tractive hƤtte ich mein Baby sehr viel lƤnger suchen müssen um sie zur letzten Ruhe nach Hause bringen kƶnnen.

I donāt have experience with the 6 mini, only the regular mini. But I would imagine the battery life to be worse in the 6 mini, seeing how small it is. My regular minis lasts maybe 3 days at max with one battery saving zone and no live tracking. The collars Tractive sent with the regulars also rub m

Awwww. what a cutie he is. š I can only imagine how stressful the past 2 days have been and I'm so so sorry that this happened. I'm really glad, tho, to see him being home now. Safe and sound. š It's very likely that he got trapped somewhere, especially if he smells like basement/garage. I assume yo

here is my take on this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/tractive/s/G735lEpPBf TL;DR: we and our cats think that the cat 6 mini is worth the extra money especially if you get it with a discount/deal which brings down the price to just 40⬠(in comparison to the 25⬠for the old cat mini).

I purchased 3 of the cat 6 mini back in April and still havenāt received them. First they were back ordered to May, then June and now itās been updated to July. I like my current tractive collars, but this delay is giving me a bad taste for tractive.

Iām trying the new tractive cat 6 miniright now and it works most of the time but everyone is in agreement that it is a bit of a downgrade from the previous model but it is lighter and slimmer. Our boy has gotten used to it quite quickly from no collar at all and we worked our way up with AirTags li

Itās worth noting that the supply issues are only in certain markets, at least to the best of my knowledge. I think all trackers are (and have been) shipping within the EU. On the supply issues, I have a little more compassion than the average person, as my job has overlap with shipping/receiving/lo

It's been 9 months since your post and I'm wondering if you are happy with pet tracer for your cat. I just bought the tractive cat 6 mini and I'm not terribly pleased, but also don't want to deal with the hassle of returning it if pet tracer isn't actually much better š

We've had the cat 6 mini for a couple of weeks now and top be honest you're better of with the old one anyways. The new one fits better - yes. But it's GPS seems so atrocious that it just doesn't automatically update the location half the time for and hour or more and the Live tracking does not work
