"the app can set the collar to Lost Kitteh mode, where the collar will send a location to the app every seven minutes or thirty seconds. The collar also supports a direction-finding feature, using the ultra wideband (UWB) feature of recent Apple iPhones to point you in the direction and distance of the tracked cat."

"Earlier this week, creative engineer (Sahas Chitlange) published a video on YouTube introducing his project called
FindMyCat. He designed and created this product to keep an eye on his orange cat, Pumpkin. Why did he need to
“reinvent the wheel”?
During market research, Chitlange noticed that commercial trackers either have low battery life, poor tracking
capabilities, or have too high purchase/use costs. So he decided to develop his own device that would combine the
advantages of the best trackers, in particular modeled after AirTags from Apple."

"FindMyCat is the answer to what is available on the market which, in one way or another, has critical issues:
unsatisfactory battery life, unreliable behavior, closed source with the impossibility of applying any kind of
customization, high cost. This is just to name a few of the most recurring problems..."

"Thanks to highly optimized software and hardware that ensures very low power consumption, FindMyCat can
guarantee a battery life of up to 6 months on a single charge. In terms of connectivity, the device features both a GPS
chip and a SIM card for connection via LTE. This means that by using your own cell phone you will be able to find your
pet regardless of where he is and the distance between us and him."

"Creator and inventor Sahas Chitlange has created FindMyCat, an open-source pet tracking solution, not terribly unlike Apple’s AirTags, designed specifically for your favorite feline or canine creature."

"An open source tracking collar that looks like it would actually be practical. Other products have come along with similar claims, but FindMyCat seems capable of backing them up. The key to achieving that was the development of low-power electronics and a clever operating scheme. Under normal circumstances, FindMyCat remains in a deep sleep mode. Unless the cat leaves the house or you check its location, the collar draws very little power."
