We don’t do reviews as a rule but we found Loc8tor to be ahead of the pack with innovative ideas for tracking lost items. Click on their name to see more of their history.
SHOKO…..BLACK
MOM….. MAROON
The package arrived in the mail a couple of days ago and what struck mom right away was the weight and compactness of the parcel. The entire box weighed a pound.
Inside the box is;
1 Tabcat Handset
2 Lightweight Homing Tags
2 Splashproof Cases
Mini Tool To Open Tag 
My curiosity was piqued. 
I made sure mom handled it with care and I examined the Tabcat personally.
Shoko has volunteered to wear the Tabcat disc on her collar to show us how it works. 
The Splashproof case matches my eyes.
The disc is ideal because I’ve rolled outside in my garden to see if dirt gets into the mechanism and it doesn’t. 
My thinking here is, we must wear the Tabcat disc everyday cause one never knows when one might get lost or where curiosity might take one. So the disc should be able to stand up to everyday situations.
One thing that is making my fur itch is the possibility that the beeping may sound like a “clicker.” I hate the “Clicker” with a passion that lies deep within me. I hear a click and I leave the room as fast as my paws will carry me. I don’t care if you have millions of treats with catnip on top…..I’m outta there! 
Is the “Clicker” gone yet?
The sound is more of a beep than a click so I didn’t run away. The range is 400 feet.
You can purchase the Tabcat at Amazon.com. Simply click on Tabcat and be taken to the selection.
You can also purchase your monitor directly from the Tabcat Shop online.
The only suggestion that I have for Loc8tor is the button that starts the Tabcat on the right-hand side is in the identical location on the left-hand side for the sound. So holding the Tabcat comfortably, one hand is on the start and the fingers are on the sound. I would suggest making these buttons or one of them higher than the other for easier application.
We were not reimbursed in any way for this review. Everything in this review is from Shoko and I, even the opinions are ours. We enjoyed bringing this tracking device to your attention friends.
If you have any questions about the Tabcat and it’s functioning, put your questions in the comments and David Ansell from Tabcat will assist you with your inquiries.

Hi, original Loc8tor device was created to help people find their phone as well as their wallet, keys and even children! But given the way it works and the lightness it has become hugely popular for cat owners. David.

What a cool gadget. Then again… now you will find all of Shoko’s hiding spots in the house. Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. XOXO – Bacon

That’s right Bacon. Shoko has one place she goes to be alone that we just can’t seem to find but with this Tabcat, her hiding place is up for brabs now. hehe

I wonder how long it will be before you find it? Snorts with piggy laughter. Hemi has one here too that we can’t find. It’s like he just ‘shows up’ after a while. So funny how they have their places. XOXO – Bacon

Great review. I think this is a wonderful idea for outside kitties. Good thinking to roll in the dirt and test it Shoko 🙂

This tracker system is ideal for cats that spend time investigating the out of doors. With the Tabcat finding Shoko was right easy. No more screaming, “Shoko” all over the hood, just turn the Tabcat on and behold she’s found!

We reviewed this a while back and think it’s a pretty cool idea…especially for cats that go outside. We’re glad the beeping didn’t scare you, Shoko.

I know the Island Cats are strictly indoor cats and don’t bother with trying to get out the door but this little Tabcat in winter would be a small miracle.

This sounds very useful for cats who are allowed outside access. So many cats wind up getting lost.

Hi Erin,
Thanks for your feedback. It doesn’t currently, but this is feedback we have had a few times and is something we (sales & marketing) would like to incorporate.

Is it too big for one of your kits? Shoko had no problem with it and never gave it a second thought. If something is bothering her on her collar, she works at it until either the item comes off or the collar does.
