[mc55 10]

Is anyone on EE network and heard of Pet Pal ? I just saw the ad on TV - looks like it will be some sort ot GPS tracker that you can access through an App on your phone.

 

"EE will also be shortly launching EE Pet Pal, a new connected device that will allow customers to makes sure they don’t lose track of their four-legged friends. Further details on EE Pet Pal will be revealed soon."

good idea not so good if you have 6 cats lol

Sounds useful and a really good idea for kitties

we have 4 adult cats who are in and out all day - we usually lose 2-3 collars a month I learnt my lesson long ago when I bought fab ID discs, agonising over the design, the colour, what to put on them etc ... only for them return after a few days with missing collars.

 

Now if this could somehow link to the microchip ?? or will it be a GPS tracker ?

No doubt a collar mounted gps tracker, easily lost though.

But on the up side, easily found

which is great if the cat comes home ... but then back to the old chestnut of how to find your cat if he / she is missing and lost their collar

I'm embarrassed to say I wouldn't have thought of that

Oh I wish! Presumably though you can't implant something like that as it will need batteries replacing or recharging. Could save soooo many hours of anxiety and grief if there was a solution to that.

Here's a similar thing http://www.dogtrackernano.com/ but for dogs rather than cats though.
