Thanks for the review, I was literally going to order one online now.
I can hear her bell in the local gardens but can't see her, and as usual she is ignoring my whistels, and key jangling. Might attach a massive flag and pole to her back or put her on a chain ( I am kidding before I get inundated with messages)

saw this on the net, but its only for Dogs at the moment, sounds like they are working on a smaller version for cats, expensive though.

Sounds like a good idea but I assume they come with collars? - I wonder if they are safety "breakaway" type collars? otherwise could be dangerous.

yes 11 is a bit much , i know the range isnt great, but better than nothing and at least if they ever go missing, god forbid it would make searching easier.

http://www.loc8tor.co.uk

Just ordered from Maplins, sign up to there newsletter and get £3 off, so it was £56.05 all in , they work upto 183 metres away. I know thats not brilliant but its better than nothing. Mine have been roaming around a lot and it just piece of mind really.

And if you lose a coller you can locate it with the little tag on..

basicly you attach a little tag to the cat collor, its the size of a paper clip and the you can locate them on the hand held device..

all good
