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

Dog ran away today. Do I want a Fi, or…?

Had Fi 3 years ago - my experience was horrible with it - beautiful small form factor design and the basic collar was nice, but between the connection issues and the app itself communicating and the actual gps tracks that were more just random straight lines couldn’t track an actual path even if we

Tractive 6 experience?

I have 2 dogs and they both have a tractive 6. I’ve attached it on the handle of his collar, as this collar is too wide, but it fits perfectly fine with his normal sized collar. The positives: It’s accurate, the battery lasts about a week with walks, super quick notifications when they leave the bou

More Cat 6 Mini Shenanigans

It’s hard to say. I’ve tried quite a few trackers over the years, from well-known brands like Kippy to cheaper Chinese models, and they all seem to have the same trade-offs: they're either too bulky, unreliable, or expensive. Each one has its shortcomings, but so far Tractive has been the one that h

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

FYI, recent issues with Tractive may be related to new ownership

Hi u/DisastrousTwo4163, Thanks so much for sharing your concerns and feedback. It's true that Tractive was acquired by Bending Spoons. This happened in late May, so the new management only stepped in a couple of months ago. 😊 In our case, new management doesn't mean a change in our dedication to Tra

Why aren’t there internal trackers at a consumer level?

I went with “Tractive” which is both GPS and Bluetooth enabled. Its relatively cheap to buy, but the subscription is a bit steep b/c when I bought,I had to buy a year (or more) instead of by the month. I don’t know what its like now. Also the one I have for Toby is a bit on the clunky side, not as e

CAT mini 6 - Yikes

Yeah. Mine lost it but the homeowner was nice enough to allow me to look in their backyard. I brought it home, charged it up, changed the weight setting to one higher and nothing five freaking hours of putting it back on him, it was off and the tracker said “No GPS”. Unfortunately these neighbors di

I still get battery updates, but no gps signal. No way I'll get another tracker that can't make use of cellular network to help fin

Anxiety when cat is out

Routine and GPS tracker, really helped my anxiety. Meals on the dot, same time every day. Mine eat every 6h (6, 12, 6, 12), and are always home for their next meal. They also learned quickly that when the collar is on they are allowed out, so once they are home for the night the collar comes off and
