#2The article mentions nothing about the setup or tech, and I'd love to find out what my cats are up to before they come home with another rabbit or bird (probably sleeping).

#3Are there any god GPS trackers for cats that people would advice? The article mentions nothing about the setup or tech, and I'd love to find out what my cats are up to before they come home with another rabbit or bird (probably sleeping).
> To answer this, I contacted Tractive, manufacturers of GPS trackers for cats and dogs.

#4Cats are stone cold hunter killers. Almost brainless too. They kill anything that moves and is edible.
We all know cats that sometimes just kill for the sake of killing (practice??) and don’t even eat the prey.
It’s like the cats brain is just made for hunting and killing and very little else. Just watch how stupid cats are in cat videos — except when they are hunting.
I have a cat at one of my homes and one day I went up on the roof for some maintenance stuff. The roof was littered with the partially eaten bodies of almost every kind of animal that was edible and smaller than the cat.
Then when you come home she curls up in your lap and purr for your next cat video. Yes, even your docile house cat - put her outside and bam! Death and destruction. Thank god they don’t hunt us.
Don’t get me wrong - I love cats.

I was working on my truck one summer night, and a cat introduced himself by meowing.
I immediately thought he was abandoned.
I took him to a vet, and no chip.
He arrived a few days later with a breakaway collar, and tag.
It turned out he was from a wealthy family, but didn't lije the dog.
I am very allergic to cats, but this guy tried everything in order to live in my house.
Every day for a week, I would wake up to a mouse on the porch, or in the house. (He figured out the dog door)
I later heard that he had at least 5 hones on the block that we're feeding him. One home bought fresh sardines. One was buying fresh Salmon.
Anyways---he was far from brainless. I think a mountian lion got him? I do miss him.

Except for those city house cats who are terrified of anything moving. I know one city house cat who's a real hunter killer and is able to actually lure, trap and kill pigeons from inside an appartment (without balcony), and when outside in the countryside kills absolutely everything.
But most city house cats I know are scared shitless of rodents and birds. My own cat is frequently "bullied" by ravens.
