Cats seem to be popping up everywhere these days. Not that cats ever really go out of style, but with websites dedicated to pictures of cats and top-selling books based on these websites, it just seems like we are seeing more cats these days.
And some people are very interested in finding out just what cats are seeking. One architect in Britain decided to use a GPS tracking device to find out just where his cat goes every day. This enterprising architect has even compiled the data he gets from using a GPS tracking system to trace his cat’s movements to show that the animal tends to follow certain patterns over time.
Those of you who allow your cats to roam and do not keep them in house, probably find that your pets do not go very far. Still, some pets do veer somewhat off the beaten path from time to time and you have to go out in search of them. By using a GPS tracking device, you can make sure that you do not have to spend too much of your time out searching for your pet.
Statistics show there are approximately 273 million pets in this country, with 10 million of them ending up lost or in shelters each year. With the weather getting increasingly colder, you will not want your pet to get lost and you will not want to have to spend a lot of time outside trying to find your pet. The PT-200 uses RMTracking’s high-powered, full-featured NavIQ software to reliably report your pet’s whereabouts at all times, so there’s no need to worry if your dog or cat gets out of your backyard. NavIQ reports a pet’s location in real time, proving far more effective at recovering lost animals than putting up posters or canvassing the area to bring a beloved pet home again.
Visit Rocky Mountain Tracking on the web and check out the PT-200 for Pet Tracking. This device is most commonly used for dogs, but it works for cats and other small pets too. The PT-200 is small enough that a pet may not even notice it is there, tracking his/her every move. The PT-200′s rechargeable battery will last up to 21 days without being recharged. The accuracy of the device is within about 3 to 16 feet.
