TabcatV2 Cat & Kitten Tracker - More Accurate than GPS - No Monthly Fee or Subscription - Includes 2 Homing Tags - Up To 150m Range - Small & Lightweight Tags Perfect to Find Indoor & Outdoor Cats

Great product, it actually works, our partially blind cat struggles to find her way home, went missing in the dark and rain, she was out of range, so got in the car and drove around, it picked her up on a new housing estate in a back garden, had to knock on the door, but they were very good and we found her sheltering under a bush, very wet and feeling sorry for herself. It will also pick up signal through a house wall, thought she had got out, but took me back inside to where she was hiding behind my bed, so good if they get shut in a garage or shed. The collar lights up in the dark and it does beep, but not very loudly. Only one thing for improvement would be supplying spare batteries. Make sure you have back up ones, good quality, as the cheap ones won't last and a long search will drain the one in the remote. The small collar battery as well, but that lasts a lot longer, I keep changing mine though just in case, as obviously nothing will work otherwise, or you can just keep testing it now and then. She has managed to get her collar off couple of times, but you can find that with the tracker, mine was stuck in the hedge. The tabcat is small, lightweight and doesn't bother her at all, definately waterproof with the cover supplied and all in all can't fault it. 100% better than the gps tracker I tried, that kept losing signal, then when you got to the pinpoint, she wasn't there, actually was three gardens away. The range is good, but if out of range, it will still keep searching for a signal, so don't give up, just keep walking or driving around....

One of the two tags in the box is defective. I have replaced the batteries 3 times already, and it only works for a little while after putting on the new batteries. After an hour or so it goes dead, so it seems that something is draining the battery very quickly. The other tag is fine so far, after a week of wear. Problem is that a single tag cannot be replaced, nor bought from Amazon UK. The only options are to replace the Tabcat set (and risk receving another faulty tag) or ask for a refund.

We ordered this for our female cat who goes wondering for up to 36 hours. It was fairly easy to set up although getting the tab into the plastic holder which attaches it to the cat's collar can be quite a challenge.Lucily our cat makes no objection to it being around her neck. The direction finding is really good once the can is in range to be picked up. What i found really irritating was that it stops after only about 40 seconds and has to be re set.The Range of the Tabcat is quite variable but it does pick up the tab on the cat's collar when she is in the average size gardens of some of our neighbours. However for one particular house which has a very large garden it does not pick her up. Overall though it does what it says and is well made.

long and short is: Long battery life, easy to use, no subscription. If you like the sound of that then grab this product.Our kitten went missing when she was just getting used to the outside world. After 3 long agonising days, she returned to us. We went straight online looking for a solution to make sure we could find her if she went missing again.In my research, 2 options came up:GPS tags with a cellular connection or,RF tags.With all gps tags there is a fee to connect the tag to the internet via a cellular connection. This is usually a monthly subscription. With this connection also comes increased battery life, which means you need to remember to charge the tag to be effective. Finally, you will need a way to receive this data from the tag, usually in the form of a companion app.The other option is radio tags,no subscription, long battery life, and no need for a silly smart app. This is what this product has. You do have a range limit, but if you have a situation where your cat is lost, walking around the area with it will be sure to pick them up, then it's just a case of homing in on your pet and bringing them home.We've had one scare since picking this product up and it was just a case of grabbing the remote and walking around the block and following the signal when it was picked up. Within 30 mins and a little way from home she was found fussing with some children, perfectly happy.

It is small which is a bonus.However, realistically the range was often not much not than about 20/30 meters.I didn't see anything like the range of 182 meters.I was pointing to a spot maybe 40 meters away and I knew the cat was there and nothing.As I walked closer maybe 20/30 meters it started to beep.I got this as we had a cat with an apple tag which we lost for a day.Mainly due to him being in the middle of a large field and nowhere near an apple phone.We did eventually pick him as the phone beeped when we got within about 10 metres.This is an improvement on that but I was not convinced.It may be ok for some though clearly it is based on reviews - just depends on circumstances.I have now purchased a Tractive for comparison. That provides a real-time location and importantly history. For comparison the Tractive costs about £160 for 2 years including the purchase + pro subscription. Both work, Tractive is a clear winner for functionality though. Will keep the Tabcat v2 as a backup...
