Once you receive your tracker, charge it with the provided cable and attach it to your cat’s collar using the clip and mount. Then start tracking Box Contains Tractive GPS Tracker for cats, USB cable, manual Review: Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (take #2) - This is the second Tractive GPS Cat Tracker for our Burmese cat and it is very good (the product and not the cat). The first one was bought as a Christmas present in 2020. Our cat initially didn't like wearing a collar and at 7 years old "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" probably applies more to cats than humans. I had to write to Tractive after he would try to pull the cat collar off and damaged the silicon rubber bands used to attach to a cat collar. On each occasion, Tractive sent free replacements. The battery life is not dissimilar to a smart mobile phone and so it may be possible to get close to the manufacturer's claimed life, but it is more likely that you will want to charge the battery daily. It is certainly a good idea to keep the battery charge level up because there will be times when a "search and rescue" type operation to retrieve the collar will be required. The product has similar functions to a phone e.g. works with GPS, has a unique eSIM and has a phone (pet) contract. A cat collar will have a breakable mechanism that allows the cat to break free of the collar so that he doesn't get injured and it seems that our cat likes to get into scrapes with bushes, etc. at night when out hunting. It doesn't happen very often, but the App provides an indication of where the collar is and retrieving it isn't a problem. Usually it is behind a potting shed in dense brambles. Inevitably, after 18 months the cat returned home without the collar, and (this time) the collar with the tracker couldn't be recovered. I guess it's not dissimilar to losing a phone on a contract and there is a need to get a replacement with the ongoing contract. Tractive did offer to supply a replacement at a discounted price, but I had already ordered a replacement from desertcart. The new 2021 model of the Tractive Cat Tracker now includes a leather-look cat collar which we had high hopes for. Unfortunately, our cat weighs over 6kg and barely seems to fit through the cat flap (he is on a diet). The new collar is quite stiff and for whatever reasons, the collar detaches 100% as he (frequently) exits the building. Fortunately, the Tracker includes the original style blue silicone rubber and plastic collar attachment. Using the blue-collar he can exit the building OK. It is quite an eyeopener as to where a cat goes, especially at night. Typically he will travel about 6km a day and the routes used are predictable. In the country, the routes will pass across neighboring properties and rarely will the roads be used. At one point, he would venture further into a field and then appear to move back very quickly. More than likely this was a problem with the GPS and there have been "over the air" updates from Tractive that seem to resolve and improve the unit. The product uses a removable rechargeable battery. Why would you want a second one? It's for the "handover" or "hot swap" of a charged battery. It doesn't take long for the battery to be recharged, but if your cat goes outside with the collar on and loses the collar, then you can (obviously) can't track and retrieve it. If you remove the collar whilst the unit is recharging, then the safety clasp will eventually become a bit loose - so you can't win. On balance, it might be better to have two batteries and "hot swap". Cats are not known to be cooperative. Eighteen months on and our cat is both tolerant of wearing a collar and the Tractive Tracker. He is very accepting of both products. A pack of six cat collars is not expensive on desertcart at it may be best to think of them as a consumable item e.g. replace with a new one after a couple of months. The supplied black collar is just too stiff to sit flat against our cat's neck so that his exit through the cat flap is always a problem but colored desertcart collars seem to work better. the black collar also errs on the side of being safer to easily detach, but also too loose. Having a contract for the tracker is not really any different than for a mobile phone. For this reason, we started a two-year contract which seems to be a balance between a lower monthly price and too much initial expense. As a phone, there probably aren't too many cat owners that buy the product and then decide not to keep the subscription going. There isn't much to say about improving the product. The combination of the App and the Tracker work well together and the Customer Service is good too. It might be better to raise the price slightly and include a second battery, which would be my only suggestion. Owning a cat is not a cheap hobby, and knowing where your cat goes is interesting and it is reassuring to know when he doesn't come back on time, exactly where he is. Review: Peace of mind - Our cat Harry - normally quite reliable in his routine - has recently started staying away from home for some unknown reason. We had, on a couple of occasions, reported him as missing and even put him on social media. Luckily for us, he had been staying in the area, and a neighbour had spotted him so we brought him home, however he has since done his disappearing act a couple more times, each time being found in the same area. We didn't want to keep him in as he is very much an outdoor cat, so we decided to get him a tracker. After a bit of research we decided on the Tractive GPS tracker. After reading some reviews of the included collar being a bit weak we bought another collar to put the tracker on and so far, so good. Tracker is easy to set up through the app, and offers a lot of features - with an annual subscription. We opted for the Premium cover, at a cost of £86 a year. The tracker itself is fairly compact and doesn't seem to impede Harry's movements, but even so, when he is home we take it off him to give him some relief from it. The app is good with a lot of features such as live tracking, activity monitor and history, which provides a view of his movements in the form of lines and a heat map. There's even a leaderboard so you can see how well your cat is doing in comparison to other cats in the local area. There's also an option to switch on light and an alarm on the tracker through the app, in case your pet loses their collar (this has happened to us on a couple of occasions and on both times we located it easily which is testament to its accuracy). However there is a downside - if cat is indoors or in a built up area, the GPS signal can be bit weak or non-existent. The map on the app is also not as up to date as it could be, but it does the job well enough. The map on the Tractive website is certainly more up to date, but it's not possible to use the live tracking and virtual fence at the same time like it is on the app. Speaking of virtual fence - this allows you to set a "boundary", so that if your pet roams outside of this, the app will alert when they have the area, and again when they return. For battery life, I have only given 3 stars here, mainly because Tractive states up to 5 days battery, when in reality this is around 2-3 days depending on how much you use the live tracking feature (live tracking increases battery life). I would have like a spare battery so that I didn't run the risk of it running out of juice if Harry stays out for a bit longer than normal but after having been in touch with Tractive themselves, they no longer supply spare batteries, which I find really short sighted, so I drop a star for that. To help preserve battery life we tend to turn the tracker off when Harry is home (there is a power button on the tracker - hold it down for 3 seconds or so to turn on or off) and charge it every couple of days. Minor niggles aside, I really recommend this product. The app has a load of features that are both genuinely useful and entertaining at the same time. Being able to see where Harry is when he's outside is really fun, and gives us peace of mind. It's also good to know that if/when he loses his collar, we can locate the tracker relatively easily. It allows us to let him out of the house secure in the knowledge that we can always locate him. ## Features - Item display weight: 0.03 kilograms ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XDBH9Y2 | | Age Range Description | All life stages | | Best Sellers Rank | 385,976 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 916 in Pet Location Trackers | | Brand Name | Tractive | | Breed Recommendation | Cat | | Closure Type | Button | | Colour | Blue, White | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (3,685) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09120056450749 | | Included Components | Charger Cable, GPS Tracker, Quick User Guide | | Item Type Name | Tractive New 2019 IKATI - GPS Tracker for cats + integrated activity tracking | | Item Weight | 30 Grams | | Manufacturer | Tractive | | Manufacturer Part Number | TRKAT1 | | Material Type | Leather | | Model Number | TRKAT1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pattern | Animal Print | | Product Style | Newest model | | Product Warranty | 1 year | | Size | Newest model | | Target Species | Cat | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tractive - **Closure type:** Button - **Colour:** Blue, White - **Material:** Leather - **Pattern:** Animal Print ## Images ![Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (2021) with Custom Cat Collar, Follow them Everywhere, 24/7 Location and 365-day History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TV3ubVoaS.jpg) ![Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (2021) with Custom Cat Collar, Follow them Everywhere, 24/7 Location and 365-day History - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815TtBRGepS.jpg) ![Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (2021) with Custom Cat Collar, Follow them Everywhere, 24/7 Location and 365-day History - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EfIE+3ToS.jpg) ![Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (2021) with Custom Cat Collar, Follow them Everywhere, 24/7 Location and 365-day History - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gl7FKwkGS.jpg) ![Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (2021) with Custom Cat Collar, Follow them Everywhere, 24/7 Location and 365-day History - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818xyDg4yCS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If were to go looking for the cat where it is shown to be, would the technology still work on a mobile or tablet outside the house ie mobile internet?** A: I have had a very different experience. My cat managed to loose his and despite trying for ages at the location the tracker showed we still couldn't find it. Sometimes when he's standing beside me the tracker shows him in another street. To be honest I'm always surprised when the tracker shows him near where he actually is! **Q: How many cats can be added to the app?** A: There is no limit - some customers have more than 10 pets in the app and even more should be fine. But please keep in mind, that you need a subscription for every tracker/pet - plans can be found via tractive.com/plans **Q: Im just confused why there is the option of replacement batteries if you can charge it ???** A: So you can fit a freshly charged battery then let the cat out and track it while a second battery is recharging. This will then be ready to change over and let cat out anytime as required. **Q: If I decide to pay a monthly subscription, can I cancel it at any time without paying an exit fee? Thanks** A: From experience, that we be a no. This manufacturer used every excuse not to refund our subscription. The fact is, you don’t know that it doesn’t work for you until you’ve paid the subscription to activate it. Once you’ve done that, they don’t seem to care. They blamed everything but the product when we had Gps issues. Unless you have a brilliant phone/Gps signal in your area I’d walk away before you buy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (take #2) *by S***M on 8 July 2021* This is the second Tractive GPS Cat Tracker for our Burmese cat and it is very good (the product and not the cat).

My cats are constantly roaming and I wanted to know where they were. Initially the tracker works well. The app is easy to use, however they are not fit for purpose as the tracker attaches to a collar (both included in purchase). The collar stayed on, no issues with that. However the tracker that clips onto the collar fell off twice within one week. My cats are active climbers, squeeze through tiny gaps. I can only assume this is why the tracker was lost twice. Because of it falling off, I have sadly returned both to Amazon for a refund. Alas it is not so easy to obtain a refund from Tractive for a mandatory subscription. I wouldn't buy a product from them again, not because of the tracker because it could be a good product but the Customer Service. What use is a subscription that they won't refund if I have returned the trackers. They supposedly have a 14 day cancellation policy on the subscription. Unfortunately due to work commitments etc I didn't cancel in time. My own fault for not reading the small print. UPDATE on 22 Jan 2021. I paid for the subscription via a PAYPAL. I used their resolution centre to create a dispute. I then received a full refund for the subscription from Tractive. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tractive GPS Cat Tracker (2021) with Custom Cat Collar, Follow them Everywhere, 24/7 Location and 365-day History - Tractive GPS Clip Charger (includes USB-C cable) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/156640415-tractive-gps-cat-tracker-2021-with-custom-cat-collar-follow](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/156640415-tractive-gps-cat-tracker-2021-with-custom-cat-collar-follow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
