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

Pre-ordered CAT 6 Mini: July 1st Shipping day is here! Public accountability thread.
1 star Preordered, promised shipping by July 1st, still nothing. Should I do a charge back? Preordered the CAT 6 Mini expecting it to ship by July 1st like Tractive promised. Here we are and I've got nothing, no tracking number, no shipping confirmation, no real update, just silence. This isn't a on

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

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

New Tractive Cat 6 Mini: Constant GPS signal loss and LIVE tracking failures
Samma här, precisionen är urdålig på Tractive Cat 6 mini, min katt "hoppade" omkring, 1 meter däråt, 4 meter åt andra hållet, 12 meter åt ett annat håll. När hon hela tiden satt 4 meter ifrån mig, helt stilla. Låset är inte bra, ställer man in ett högre värde blir det plötsligt det minsta, låsets lö

New Tractive Cat 6 Mini: Constant GPS signal loss and LIVE tracking failures
I keep a pretty close eye on this sub, and there have been a lot of complaints about the Cat 6 Mini. You’ve summed the issues nicely, and the only other consistent complaint I’ve seen is about the collar clasp coming undone really easily. I’ve put plans for the Cat 6 Mini on hold, honestly. My subsc

New Tractive Cat 6 Mini: Constant GPS signal loss and LIVE tracking failures
Hi, I have 2 cats & each have a Tractive Cat 6 mini. I have only the Kippy tracker to compare it to , for which the Cat 6 mini is 100% better. However, I have had the same problems as you with each of my cat’s trackers.. When the cat is not active (ie, sleeping) for around 2 hours, the GPS loses sig

GPS collar
Having a lot of issues with GPS on the Tractive Cat 6 Mini, everyone in the community says the older model is better, I didn’t realise how new it was when I bought it, so just a warning on that. When it works it is great!

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.
