Weenect Cats is the first cat GPS tracker that’s also a phone
If you’re a cat lover who let your kitty (or kitties) roam wild, it’s practically a stipulated that you’ll worry about them. After all, out in the world, anything could happen towards felines and you’d can’t predict about it until its too late. That’s why there’s a whole industry that creates products specially for owners to track their beloved felines’ location.
While GPS devices for pets aren’t exactly new, the Weenect Cats is unique in that it’s really not a GPS tracker, it additionally offers a built-in SIM card, which can turn it into a one way phone, meaning you can dial in but dispersed further can’t dial out. You wouldn’t want Kitty to be calling long distance, do you might?
Weighing 25 grams, water resistant and about the size of a pager (remember those types?), the Weenect Cats is meant to be clipped on to your cat’s collar. You can then track where your kitty is at all times with the app. The app even allows one to follow the route your cat takes when it’s on one of its walkabouts, from the beginning to the end. It also allows you to set alarms that will warn you if your beloved feline is wandering past the boundary from home.
Of course, the app also allows you to call your cat. GPS Tracking for oil equipment has a built-in SIM card, which works in 80 countries (including Malaysia), though you’ll need to pay a monthly subscription (30 for six months or 50 a year) to enable the call feature. There’s a microphone and speaker embedded within the Weenect Cats, so when you call, your kitty can hear your voice and you can hear your cat if it replies back.
