Features & Capabilities

Cat Tailer is a compact Bluetooth Low Energy cat tracker designed to sit on your cat's collar. It is waterproof, lightweight, and built to withstand a cat's rambunctious lifestyle. With a range up to 100 meters, you can quickly see how far your cat is from you using the companion smartphone app. The battery is user-replaceable and lasts about 6 months.

Note that Cat Tailer is not GPS. It uses BLE to help you locate your pet within your yard or neighborhood. The app provides distance cues and alerts when your cat returns home. Easy pairing, simple setup, and a focus on safety for cats.

User Reviews

Overall, Cat Tailer provides peace of mind and useful near-range tracking with generally responsive support, but reviews repeatedly highlight inaccurate distance readings, Bluetooth-only range (not GPS), occasional app issues, and a bulky collar that can be uncomfortable.
Pros
  • Provides peace of mind by helping locate the cat when it's outdoors or roaming nearby.
  • Useful for near-range tracking and getting a quick sense of where the cat is.
  • Generally reliable in terms of meeting user expectations and has responsive customer support (the team/owner).
Cons
  • Distance readings can be wildly inaccurate and fluctuate, especially indoors or around obstacles.
  • Not a true GPS tracker; relies on Bluetooth with limited range, which can misrepresent the cat's location and lacks perimeter alerts.
  • App can be laggy and unreliable; distance readouts may be off and some features like sound may stop working.
  • Bulky collar design and attachment issues can be uncomfortable for the cat and interfere with wear.

Cat was twenty feet away and the app showed he was 98 ft then. 197 feet and kept going between the two. San Apple AirTag even works better and that ain’t saying much bc they aren’t good enough either.
