I used tractive. It is bulky and requires daily charging making it not so good for cats. I will likely play with Air Tag, as my cats usually travel in highly populated areas, so they should be seen by many people.


Would you like to hear the lecture about why cats should be kept indoors now? Or have you already heard and ignored it many times?


:-) I think the cats need the lecture more than I do. Seriously though, the scientific community seems to be split on the subject. Cats clearly prefer outside for approx. half of the time, the other half eating and sleeping at home. I own a house with huge garden, doors are open, cats are where they want to be.


Would you like to hear the reasons to let cats outside, or have you already heard and ignored them many times?


I'd actually like to hear one good reason, sure.


Giving them more activities to do and the greatly increased exercise are the two big ones. Even if you think it's better to keep a cat inside, there are strong reasons in either direction. People that let their cats outside aren't just being dumb.


I do this but I feel like Im keeping them from living life to the fullest. They’ll live more but at what cost?
