One of my biggest anxieties is losing my 2 cats or even the dog. Even though they're indoor, it just takes or some service person or someone else by accident to prop the door open and away they go.

Can GPS devices be implanted into pets nowadays? I've seen some collar devices on the web. anyone have any experience with them?
don't worry. they'll come back when they had enuf of the outdoor life and are hungry.
might take weeks tho.

also, get another cat/dog?
usually free at the pound

Ii have the 'Oh Shit I'm Lost' dog tag on all my dogs collars more in the style I posted above, although one is a very different style. Like the color ones though. Found mine on etsy.


I'm going to buy one for my cat with a break away collar. He was a lost kitty and we did find his owner, but because of his home circumstance we ended up keeping him. He likes to try and get out and he will jump fences so I need a break away collar. He is also chipped, but the chip needs updating and the chip moved so it's hard to find so I may need to have him rechipped. I need to get him a harness so I can take him outside where he wants to be.
