Once we leave home only our pets know what they get up to. I’m fairly confident my senior cat sleeps all day, at least that’s what he does when I’m working from home. But something seems to happen when he’s got the place to himself – his bowl is always licked clean by the time I get back, a feat he never manages when I’m home, and at least one of his beds looks a bit more cockeyed than usual. Maybe he rages when he realizes the place is his? This pet wearable Chitlange Sahas shared on Instructables would certainly track my old man’s movements inside our home:
I love my cat, Pumpkin, a lot. There were a couple times over the last two years of having him that he went out of my sights (outdoors) and I was really frightened that he had gone missing. If you own a pet, I’m sure you relate.
I wanted to do something about it, I looked for cat tracker options but none really fit what I was looking for. They either lack precision / refresh times (number of times the live location updates), have low battery life or are just unreliable for the most part.
I thought i’d just build it myself.
