Cat of about 8 months now and then brought outside with a harness, he wanted more. A harness was good enough for a while, but I wanted to give him a little more freedom. Bought Tractive to be able to let him out freely with peace of mind. I am very satisfied, I can easily find my cat every time.
Using the product is easy. Purchasing a subscription is quite easy, although it does cost a bit (90 euros for 1 year with all the trimmings). The collar goes easily around the neck, and is designed in such a way that it comes off if the cat is really stuck somewhere, nice and safe. The device could have been a little smaller, but on a smaller cat it will still stand out. The device is also light, which is nice for the cat.
You can view all data via the app (or via the website), which all works fine. The app works nicely smoothly (on Android), the GPS function is sometimes slow, but is reliable. What's both good and bad is the battery life. With the 'live' function you can see (using GPS) exactly where the cat is. If you often have the 'live' function on, the battery runs out faster.
Charging is done via the supplied charging cable, which has its own connection. If something happens to the cable, you can only order it from the manufacturer. Would be nice if it had a USB-C connection. Tractive recommends not using a fast charger, so be careful which adapter you use to charge with it to avoid damage to device.
A nice touch is the 'activities' function. You see how much your cat moves and rests, and you can compare the results with your immediate environment (50 km) and the rest of the world.
At least I can now let my cat run free outside without being afraid of losing him.

Since we got the traction, I'm much more at ease. Kat sometimes stays away for hours and thought she will go very far, but thanks to the traction I see that she is staying in the gardens behind us. The live tracking also works quite well. I've already checked a few times and she was effectively where the tracker indicated. Sometimes a few meters difference. You can also view the routes traveled via history. Here you occasionally see an outlier, but I think that is when he is looking for a signal again or something. Furthermore, it is very clear. Battery lasts a few days. Depends on how much your cat is outside and how much you use live. My cat weighs 3.3 kg (see photo). The tracker could have been a bit smaller and maybe black would have been less noticeable. She doesn't want to wear it, but it doesn't really bother her. What I do find a minus is that you have to pay the subscription for one year immediately. You cannot opt for monthly payment. Overall, I am satisfied with this tracker.
