    Garmin actually does make expensive GPS radio collars for dogs. For hunters, and especially spendy hikers. Our watches are compatible, they'll show where the dogs are on the "map" page as you make your way through the woods.

    I would suggest the Pea because you don't have to recharge it all the time.

    I'm posting these because they seen silly and good for a laugh. But I found them because my kitty is overweight and I need to help fix that. So I guess I'm of two minds. But I doubt these would be very helpful for a cat because cats don't understand any of this.

    I wish you luck. I had to put my cat on a diet this year and it was much worse than losing weight myself.

    They say a fool and his money are soon parted. Can't believe people are actually buying these things. The cat's body functions just like a human's CICO lol. If the cat is fat, don't give it as much food. Will work unless the cat can open cabinets, boxes and cans. If it's an outdoor cat, it could get it's own food, but then again seldom see fat outdoor cats.

    Lol, my thoughts exactly! All you have to do is feed them less, and magic will happen, they will lose weight. My spouse had an severely overweight dog and a cat when we got together, and with limiting their intake a little, they lost all the extra fat. Humans control their diet, they can't serve themselves, so if you gradually reduce the amount you feed them to a normal serving size, they will lose weight. CICO hard at work there as well, and for God's sake, let the cat have his beauty sleep, how do you suppose they live to be 20 years old? Rest and no stress, that's how, hehe.

    My kitty is lazy. I'd get something like Kitty took 14 steps today (and that's only because the dog was chasing him) and slept for 23.5 hours.

    pretty hard to get a cat to move more when it doesn't want to. this is something i'm never sure dog people quite understand. it's way harder to fool motivate a cat.

    Can't just feed the cat less because we also have a younger cat who is very active.

    My friend has to feed her two cats different types and amounts of food. It is not easy and both she and the cats hate it, but it can be done. She separates them into two different rooms with their own food bowls when she feeds them. The cats don't like to be on a food "schedule", but they have learned to deal with it.

    Just leaving this here. There are a couple on the clearance table at the local Staples.

    We've tried feeding them separately before and will probably go back to this. We have one if those cat tree things in front of a window and used to put the kitten's food at the top, where the older car isn't energetic enough to reach. Problem is Bear would knock half the food of his plate while he ate, and Parsley knew it was raining manna from heaven.

    Hahaha! Best thread of the day.

    I'll add that my cat is 11 years old and a bit tubby, but she's asks like a crazed kitten most of the time. No foot or small object is ever safe in our home! She sprints and "surfs" on her scratching pad all the way down the hall and runs laps at bedtime. Don't let me start about her 3am "dig to china" hour. So, like people, activity doesn't necessarily help...

    Parsley has a "coin purse" belly. I didn't know it but apparently that makes her a "Swiffer cat."

    We have four cats, different ages and temperaments. Two can self-regulate their food and don't overeat, two others can't. So those two have their own bowls, and they are being fed at same time, but different places. The ones that don't overeat have their bowl fiiled up in the morning, and they eat as they please all day and night, but it's out of reach for the others, and off limits too and they never touch that food. It wasn't too hard to train them, working really well. Good luck

    try to estimate how much of parsley's calorie intake is from manna, and deduct that from what you put on the lower level?

    probably very unhelpful, i know.
