  1. Its a GPS tracker lol

     

    When I first got him I lived in a flat so didn't have to worry about him roaming, but when I moved to a house he was so desperate to go out in the garden and explore (he was nearly 6 when I first got him and was 9 when I moved). He had previously been an outdoor cat when he was younger but I rehomed him as an indoor cat as he is disabled (he lost a leg the year before). Because of losing a backleg he can't jump very high (although has surprised us all on occasion) and I was worried about him getting out of our garden (he climbs the trellis like a ladder lol) and getting stuck somewhere so he can't get back again, with the tracker I just call it from my mobile (he has his own mobile number lol) and it cuts off the call and sends me back GPS coordinates on a google map link so I can find him and its pretty accurate. With an annual subscription I can track his wanderings too so I can find out his hidey holes in case he doesn't come home when expected (if this boy misses a meal there is definitely something wrong!).

     

     

    absolutely fantastic. any chance of getting one of these maps. I am curious as to how far he wanders when he is out, even with 3 legs!! or even his number .... B), always keen for a chat with a cat :lol:

    Thats awesome, you should get a go pro camera on him as well lol would love to see what cats get up to on their wonders!

    Gorgeous :cloud9:

    Awww. I'm partial to fluffy cats, as you can tell from my pic. They tend to behave more like dogs than cats and spend a lot of time upside down :)

    It seems Timmy the Tripod Tabby and his Tracker have made quite an impression lol

     

    The subscription for tracking his routes is only a recent thing (it now has an app lol) so I haven't paid for this yet as I'm waiting for another tracker for our little madam, Hammy. She is quite a bit smaller than Timmy so I'm waiting for their new micro ones, but will post up trails when I have them.

    Yep Sipar, Hammy's a shorthair but she likes upside down too lol

    You can get cameras for collars but I didn't want too much weight on his neck. Also although he's not a hunter and doesn't even blink if a bird lands in the garden, he came in one day with blood round his mouth, in his chest hair and tail and on his feet, I was terrified it was his and searched him all over (he wasn't amused as he's not a cat you can pull about) only to find it wasn't his! I have no idea who/what it belonged to but there was nothing left anywhere other than a chunk of something resembling body tissue still stuck on his tracker - it is for this reason I have stopped thinking about a camera as I really wouldn't have wanted to see that lol

     

    We have thought about getting one for Hammy as she does go off on wanderings and climbs trees etc. but she does love a hunt lol

  3. He's gorgeous Octet, my aunt had a great dane when we were all kids, he was massive but an absolute softy, they used to show him locally as he was so large (his grandfather was in the Guiness Book of Tecords for being the tallest GD at the time, 70s or 80s I think), but we were just happy riding him round the garden lol
