A smart cat tracker is like a wearable health-monitoring device, such as a smart ring, smartwatch, or fitness tracker, that helps people stay on top of key wellness markers—but for a cat.

Why should humans have all the fun? In addition to live and historical GPS location tracking that helps any helicopter cat parent rest easy, the Fi Mini, Tractive Smart Cat Tracker, and Tractive Cat 6 Mini monitor your furry friend's health metrics, like activity and sleep. The collars also send alerts for changes in health patterns, such as when your pet is moving less or sleeping more than average, which can serve as early warning signs of potential health issues.
