Question 1

Does this work if a cat has wandered far away, in a wooded area, for example, i.e. more than 400 feet away?

Accepted Answer

I think the comments that say 'don't buy it' are a bit extreme, to be honest.  We've been using ours for about 4 years now and we find it invaluable, but of course it has limitations.  If I'm in line of sight with no obstructions (or nothing much more than a few shrubs) I reckon I have a range of about 150 feet, but if there are obstructions like walls, fences, cars etc in the way then the range drastically reduces.  If my cat is out of range and I seriously want her home I do a quick walk around the block and can swiftly work out which yard she's lurking in.  In your scenario with the woods, if you took a walk through them you would probably pick up the cat once you were in reasonable proximity.  You can get units which will sense at much larger ranges, but they tend to be full GPS locators and then you're looking at a much more expensive unit, plus monthly data fees.  Our unit has only needed the batteries replacing once or twice over four years and actually survived a ride through the washing machine in my pants pocket.  I swear by the thing.

Question 2

Where can I find replacement batteries? 
My unit says 'SG10E' on the batteries, but those are nowhere to be found. What is the equivalent?

Accepted Answer

Battery info in enclosed manual in box. Handheld uses one CR2032. Tag uses SR54 (silver oxide) 1.5v button cell. both can be found in most stores that carry batteries. Its on page 8 of the manual.

Question 3

My cat is 8 pounds, will this be too big for him?

Accepted Answer

My cat is 9 lbs. she doesn't even notice it. It may be too big for a kitten under 6 mos., but other than that it is fairly small light weight and barely noticeable.

Question 4

Is it possible to set the tag to NOT beep, so you just use the visual cues to find your pet? Sounds scare cats, so this seems like poor design.

Accepted Answer

The tag on the pets collar can not be set to mute, however it is a very faint high pitched beep that you can only hear within about 15 feet or so if all is quiet. It doesn't bother my cat at all and I believe it might even help because when they hear they know we are looking for her to come and then she gets fed. She is very big on the food reward system. If you wanted to acclimate your cat to the sound I would put it by her bowl and activate it when you feed her for a few days so the sound has a positive association with it. The hand held locator is how you will find your pets location anyhow and not really through the beeping or light. It is a very useful product.
