Letting a cat outside for the first time. When did you take off the training wheels?

Noodle wears a tractive gps too and its peace of mind! I think I only fully relaxed when I realised he is a little clock himself. He leaves ar 8:30, comes back for nibbles at 10, leaves at 11, comes back ar 13:00 for lunch, leaves right after and its home 16:00 for dinner. Every single day. We never

Cat 6 Mini - Feedback / QOL Upgrades

the tracker already may be smarter than you think? the tracker seems to use the sensors to determine the movement/activity of your cat and adapts the gps update frequency accordingly: https://help.tractive.com/hc/en-us/articles/205663461-How-often-does-the-Tractive-GPS-tracker-detect-a-new-position
