The cat that stays out
She is normally back by dark. Tonight she isn't, and you have no idea whether to check the garden or the next street.
4G live tracking + daily activity log
4G GPS Pet Tracker with Activity & Health Monitoring — Clip-On Tag for Dog & Cat Collars
Keeps the collar he already wears. A 42 mm tag clips on, reports his position over its own 4G SIM, and logs how much of the day he actually spent moving.

The moments people buy this for
Different animals, same three situations.
A scent, then nothing
Off-leash in an open field, he catches something and is out of sight before you finish calling.
He's slowed down
He seems flatter than usual, and the vet asks how active he has been. You are guessing.
Two ways to find him
One for the distance, one for the last ten metres.
From anywhere
Open the app, see the pin
The tag carries its own 4G SIM, so it reports position over the mobile network rather than waiting for someone else's phone to walk past. It fixes a position with GPS, falls back to AGPS and LBS, and keeps the route it travelled so you can replay where he has been.
Position depends on mobile coverage and sky view. In a dead spot it holds the last reported point until it reconnects.
Once you are close
Make it light up and sound
A map pin gets you to the hedge. One tap in the app then makes the tag flash its RGB light and play a tone, which is what actually finds a dark animal in long grass or under a parked car.
The tag needs mobile signal and charge to answer the request.
How it fixes a position
GPS
Satellite fix outdoors — the mode that matters in fields, woods and on the road.
AGPS
Uses network data to shorten the wait for a satellite lock when he has just bolted.
LBS
Falls back to mobile masts for a rough area when satellites can't lock on.
Safe zone
Draw a boundary round the house or the yard. The app alerts you when he leaves it.
The rest of the day, recorded
The same motion sensor that follows his walk logs what he does with the other twenty-three hours: steps against a target you set, distance covered, active time, rest time and an estimate of calories burned, plotted across 24 hours.
These are sensor estimates. Read them as a trend — an animal resting far more than usual is worth a look — not as a clinical measurement.
It goes on the collar you own
The clip opens over a strap up to a normal collar's width and closes again — collar, harness or lead, dog or cat. Nothing to unbuckle, nothing to replace.

42 mm is roughly a large coin across. It is small for a dog and still a visible block on a slim cat collar — worth picturing on a very small animal before you order.
What arrives
Setup, in order
What it costs to run
The SIM is in the box and the first year of service is covered. There is nothing to arrange at checkout and no second account to open.
After that, the service runs on a €12 a year subscription, renewed directly in the TUYA app — the same app you use to set the tracker up.
Cellular positioning pauses if the subscription is left unrenewed, and resumes once it is paid.
Against what you'd otherwise do
Most people weighing this up already have a microchip, or are considering a Bluetooth tag. Here is where each one actually stands.
| This tracker | Bluetooth tag | Microchip only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shows a live position | Yes, over its own 4G SIM | Only when another phone in the network passes close by | No |
| Works in empty countryside | Where there is mobile coverage | Poorly — it depends on crowds | Not applicable |
| Helps in the last ten metres | Light and tone on request | Some models beep in range | No |
| Records daily activity | Steps, rest, distance, calorie estimate | Usually not | No |
| Ongoing cost | €12 a year for the SIM | None, plus battery swaps | None after registration |
| Needs charging | Yes, on the magnetic cable | Coin cell, replaced occasionally | Never |
A microchip is still required by law in much of Europe, and this has no written details on it — keep his ID tag on the collar too. This sits alongside both, it does not replace them.
Rain, mud, a hose-down after
IP66 covers heavy jets of water from any direction. Wading and rain are fine. Swimming and diving are not what the rating certifies.

She normally comes in at dusk. Last Tuesday she didn't, and instead of walking the street calling her I opened the app — she was shut in a neighbour's shed two gardens down. Ten minutes, not two hours.

Bought it for the map, kept it for the beep. The pin got me to the right end of the field; the tone and the blue light found him under a bramble hedge where I'd already walked past twice.

Setup took about ten minutes, most of it waiting for the first charge. The safe-zone alert pings as soon as she's past the gate, which for a collie who tests the fence daily is the whole point. Charging it once a week has become a Sunday habit.

Six weeks of wet fields and getting hosed off in the yard, no water in it so far. I take it off before she goes in the lake though — the page says jets and not immersion, and I'd rather not test that.

Being honest: on a 3.5 kg cat it's a noticeable block and she scratched at it for the first two or three days. She ignores it now, but if your cat already hates a bell, think about it before ordering.

Three of us are on the same device — me, my husband and the dog walker — so whoever has him can see the map. Under dense trees the position lags maybe a minute and then jumps to catch up. Fine for what we need it for.

Before you order
The SIM card is supplied with the tracker and the first year of service is covered, so there is nothing to arrange at checkout. After that the positioning service runs on a €12 a year subscription, renewed inside the TUYA app — the same app you use to set the tracker up and follow your pet. Cellular positioning pauses while the subscription is unrenewed and resumes as soon as it is paid.
Shipping is free worldwide. Orders are processed within 1 working day and arrive in 10 to 14 working days. If it is not right for your pet, you have 30 days from delivery to return it.
That is what the clip is for. It closes over a collar strap, a harness panel or a lead, so you do not buy a new collar. The body is 42 × 42 mm — small on a dog, and still a visible block on a slim cat collar.
Yes. The clip and the 42 mm body are the same either way; the question is whether your cat tolerates the weight on a slim collar. If she already refuses a bell, picture this first.
No. The tracker has its own 4G SIM and reports independently of your phone. Your phone only runs the app.
It is rated IP66, which certifies it against powerful jets of water — rain, mud, a hose-down. That rating does not cover immersion, so we would not send him swimming or diving in it.
No. This tracker has no display and no written details, so keep your usual ID tag on the collar next to it. What it gives you is the live position and the light-and-tone search.
It reports the last position it managed to send and updates again once it reconnects. In a genuine dead spot, no tracker with a SIM will show live movement.
Clip it on tonight, know where he is tomorrow
€65,90 instead of €82,32, with the SIM already fitted, the first year of service covered and the magnetic charger in the box. Free shipping in 10 to 14 working days, 30 days to return it.
