Cat 6 mini - false tracking data (???)

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

Wir haben unseren Kater Charlee wieder!

Bitte bitte bitte holt euch ein GPS Halsband von Tractive (Tractive Cat Mini S)🙏 mit dem könnt ihr ihn viel leichter finden... Ohne den Tractive hĂ€tte ich mein Baby sehr viel lĂ€nger suchen mĂŒssen um sie zur letzten Ruhe nach Hause bringen können.

Pre-ordered CAT 6 Mini: July 1st Shipping day is here! Public accountability thread.

Pre-ordered CAT 6 Mini: July 1st Shipping day is here! Public accountability thread.

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

Should I replace my cat mini with the cat 6 mini?

I have the new cat 6 mini. Sometimes it struggles to live track, possibly because of surrounding bushes/trees. However, finding it is great as there’s 2 big light strips and a speaker that lets you locate it when lost. Perhaps my cat is smaller but I have set the collar to the smallest setting and s

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

Tracking

Yeah, your post in r/pets is going to be flooding with people telling you to keep your cat inside. Tractive isn’t perfect, but it’s probably one of your best options as long as you have some degree of cellular LTE coverage. You’ll get some interference from the trees/forest, but so will any GPS trac

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

New Tractive trackers are here!

I currently use the cat mini. Someone on the other Tractive subreddit said that the weight is just about the tracker fitting around the neck and only the health updates may be a little wonky but the tracking would still be fine
