The new Cat 6 mini
I don’t 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

CAT mini 6 - Yikes
It is a bit strange. The thing is, I've built my own network based on small Tile trackers and custom built hot spots that are placed around the property and indoors. They have around 3 years of battery life but it's not GPS. If the cats leave the property I don't know where they are. So my wife want

Should I replace my cat mini with the cat 6 mini?
I’ve been using Tractive trackers for years and, honestly, my experience with the CAT Mini 6 has been disappointing enough that I’ll be switching back to my older trackers.The first issue was the collar sizing. Tractive advertises the CAT Mini 6 as being suitable for larger cats, but the supplied co

Should I replace my cat mini with the cat 6 mini?
After their AI ---and then a human--- told me, flat out " no more mini's. We now provide Mini 6's only as replacements under tractive care" They sent me a mini. Yeah. " there are no more, you say?"..... So i got this one --and the next day, the neighbor found & returned our lost one. It was in his b

Is the Cat 6 mini worth the money?
Don’t bother with the cat 6 mini, go for the older version. I ‘upgraded’ to the new model and had nothing but issues with it, won’t fully charge to 100%, won’t pick up gps very well even on a clear day, battery lasts me 2 days max, when I first got it it only lasted 24 hours, Tractive refused to rep

After a year of consistency, Cat Mini stopped notifying the cat has left the virtual fence
I started with TAGG and that became Whistle and now Tractive. In all cases, our cat is indoor-only and the tracker is only if she gets out. My biggest two gripes are that, with TAGG and Whistle, the notification she was outside the home zone was within 3 minutes and the batteries lasted for an avera

Is the Cat 6 mini worth the money?
I would not get the Cat 6 mini. There has been a flood of complaints since it released ~2 months ago, many of them from current Tractive users who upgraded from the Cat Mini. The GPS is weaker and the tracker struggles to connect in circumstances where the previous tracker had no issue. I have the C

Honest opinion
How heavy is your cat? If they’re big (over 5kg) then a lot of people in the FB Tractive group have gone for the dog 6 (my big boy has the old dog 4 which isn’t made anymore). I’m waiting for my Cat mini 6 to arrive for my smaller cat as agree the old style box ones have pretty bad battery life. I’v

Cat Mini 6
I totally agree with everything you said. My cat goes AWOL for up to 8 days and I have the Cat 6 Mini and yesterday it was fully charged to 100% and this morning my cat has come home and it’s now at 30%! This is in Low Power Mode. My house has really good WiFi which extends to outside the house too.
