Hi

I have 2 cats. One of the cats went missing for about 5 weeks we thought something had happened to her then one day she was outside the house and she was wary of coming into the house but she came in she had a different collar on, so someone changed it. A couple of days later we let her out hoping she would be back. She went missing again for six weeks but tonight we saw her in the street her collar had been changed again. She has come back into the house, and has put on a fair bit of weight so somebody is feeding her.

Any ideas what I can do to track her find out who is feeding her and changing her collar.
 
A Cisco WLC, WCS and location tracking. A massive grid of wireless access points and a RFID tag for your cat.

Can you get a GPS tag that you can look at its location on a website in real time?
 
But wont the other people feeding her take it off etc?

The first time she came back after going missing we changed the collar, so the people who put on the new collar would have known we changed it again. Thus showing them that we have shown she is an owned cat, but then again she has had it changed again.
 
Maybe it's not your cat?
An old cat of mine once went missing, and a few weeks later we found 'him' and took him inside. Kept him in for a while, then there was posters up about someone's lost cat. Turned out it wasn't Tom at all just looked very much like him.
Whoops.
 
Some of my cats go missing for 3-4 days at a time, one particular one went missing for over a week, we managed to track it down by spotting it jumping into to some ones garden on the other side of our estate, we knocked on the door and asked them about our cat, it turned out the had been feeding it and had practicaly adopted it :( In the end we just agreed to let them keep it if he decided he wanted to live there. still see him now and again and its been nearly 2 years..

Basicaly people shouldn't feed other peoples cats but the thing with cats is they don't get very attached and can easily change owners without missing a step...


As for tracking i, i watched a youtube video once of a guy who made a mini camera that fit round his cats collar he used to record where it went, it was a mint bit of modding that he did. might still be about if you google it ?

Good luck with keeping your cat it does sound like someone is trying to sneakily adopt him though :(
 
Ours went missing for about 4 weeks, until one day she was sat on the front doorstep also with a collar on. We took it off, and she's not changed a bit. That was about 5 years ago, she still goes out a lot but always comes home :)
 
Maybe your cat's just playing swapsies down the local alley with his buddies.

He maybe selling his collars on to fund his catnip addiction, then burglarising other cat's collar collections.
 
Put a message on the cat's collar...

"Please stop feeding our cat and changing its collar. We love our cat but he keeps being led astray by your kind, but misguided, generosity."

Might need a big collar for that though! :p
 
Keep the cat inside for a few weeks and hope it remembers where its home is, also you could try and take it to the vets and see if they put a chip in it after they nicked it.

Also you could get a new collar with 'Stop trying to steal our cat' on it.
 
I wouldn't mind as long as the cat is looked after - at the end of the day it is choosing to go where it goes.

But my kids are upset when she doesn't come home for weeks.
 
Big lolz in this thread

Seriously though I'd be ****** if it was my cat that someone kept half inching :mad:
