The two cat trackers
Do you want data about the cat, or the fastest way to find it?
Two genuine cellular trackers sized for cats. The hardware difference is small; the philosophy is not.
| Compared on | GPS Cat Mini (2026) | XS for cats |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 32 g (1.1 oz) with integrated collar | Weenect states the smallest on the market |
| Live refresh | Live tracking | Superlive — one position per second |
| Network | LTE or 2G | Multi-network SIM, 4G LTE-M/NB-IoT and 2G |
| Health tracking | Resting heart rate, breathing, sleep, activity | Not stated |
| Subscription | Required, from €5/month | Required |
| Price | Around half as much again | The cheaper of the two |
| Listed on amazon.com | Yes | No |
A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these machines answer different questions.
Take the Tractive if you want the animal’s data as well as its position, and the reassurance of a published subscription price and six markets of availability.
No amazon.com listing was found for this one. We hold references for other markets but none for the United States, so it may not be buyable here — which is the first thing to weigh against anything below.
Take the Weenect if the job is finding a cat. A position every second in Superlive mode and a SIM that roams between operators are worth more in a hedgerow than any graph.
For a genuine tracker, yes — the SIM is what removes the range limit. The Bluetooth tags sold alongside these have no monthly fee and no useful range either; they find a collar in the house.
On a 6 kg (13.2 lb) cat, unremarkable. On a slight 3 kg (6.6 lb) one, noticeable — and the collar must break away under load with the tracker on it. Test the buckle after fitting rather than assuming.
32 g (1.1 oz) · integrated collar · LTE/2G · subscription from €5/month
Tractive’s cat tracker: 32 grams including an integrated collar with a weight-adjustable safety catch, live tracking with no range limit, and a subscription that starts at €5 a month.
Best for: An outdoor cat, where the question is which field it is in rather than which room.
≈ $72
Multi-network SIM · 1-second Superlive mode · 4G LTE-M/NB-IoT and 2G
The smallest tracker here, with a multi-network SIM and a Superlive mode that returns a new position every second. A subscription is required, as everywhere in this family.
Best for: A cat that roams, where size and a fast live refresh matter more than health graphs.
