Tag your cat


A couple of months a go I shared with you the story of Grant and Harry - Harry had disappeared, never to turn up again. Grant was very upset for a long time, as was their human carer. Yesterday I received an email from a good friend of mine letting me know that one of her cats had gone missing, and she and the other 4 cats are beside themselves with worry.

Cats do wander, and even if they wear collars with ID tags, and are microchipped, these only work if someone finds them and decides to return them to us (or a rescue centre or vet). What's needed is a way to locate your cat in the first place.

I was reading Your Cat magazine the other day, and saw an article about a wonderful pet tagging product. The cat wears a little transmitter on his collar, and you have a little handheld receiver. The handheld device works up to a range of 400 ft (122m), indoors and outdoors, and guides you in the right direction. So if your cat has got himself locked inside a shed, or even in the airing cupboard, now you'll be able to find him.

It's called Loc8tor Pet, and is available on line at http://www.loc8tor.co.uk/, or you can call on 0870 111 7777. Cost is £59.99, but what price peace of mind?
