I Put Apple Air Tag Trackers on My Barn Cats 

What a beautiful place to live !! Cats are gorgeous too !

I’d love to be these cats , so free , so happy , so carefree and safe

This video is about CATS, his CATS,,, not the Apple Air Tag .

One Word for Them : USELESS!!!

If i had that many cats to track I would never get anything done....! I have three and they keep me running when I let them out, which is as much as possible... Cat trackers are a god send to the cat owners who care about their feline friends...Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for this heartwarming video! I sense a lot of good energy in this video. Your farm is such a heaven for these little furry babies.

I’m sorry about Smokey. He showed you the way of the cats! I am sure he loves every moment with you. Your presentation covered all bases! It’s very informative. After your video we decided to get to get a four pack for our indoor cats in case they got lost too. Even if the range is limited it makes sweeping for them that much easier. I heard most missing cats don’t stray far from homes and just hide under porches or bushes. AirTags can be really useful in that scenario.

I think what you should remember is that AirTags are more suitable for areas that have many IOS devices to trigger the AirTag. It will be hard to locate them if they only roam the farm. I would recommend AirTags on your pets regardless of where you live, but tracking them consistently is more for a suburban area or a city.

If you live in an area with lots of iphone users (like cities) AirTags work amazingly well as pet trackers because everyone’s iPhones communicate any/all Bluetooth AirTag data to back Apple’s geolocation servers via Apple’s u1 chip. It’s how so many people have tracked missing luggage in cities. But as we see here rural areas pose challenges because there are less iPhones around. I think that Apple or 3rd parties will probably address this problem. Maybe they’ll make u1 bluetooth / wifi repeaters. In the meantime if one wanted to experiment they could buy some iPhone 11s or later and build a 10w (or higher) solar charging station for the phone. Put it all into a plastic junction box and you have a solar Apple bluetooth repeater. People have made similar solar solutions for boosting/repeating wifi signals. I haven’t looked into it for pet use yet but two areas to also consider/google is solar powered LoRa (long range low power wireless signal - Yolink is a cool company using this tech for home consumers ) and also “differential GPS” which used local sensors to triangulate GPS data vs Satellite data.

Thanks for this video! Sorry about smokey😢 hope he comes back 🤞🏻

If one of your cats were to take off I think other people's iPhones would ping the tag and you'd get intermittent updates on where the cat is.

Lovely to see how happy your cats are playing on your farm 💖💖💖💖

This video was so great! I love all of your adorable barn cats!

I’ve watched a lot of RU-vid and this is instantly one of my most favorite videos especially since my cat is also named Chunky 😂 im sorry to hear about Smokey, one of my cats also disappeared and that’s why I’m here ❤

Such cute cats. Wild, free and loved.

Thanks mate, that was a great video! Just what I was looking for, I want to get a blue-tooth tracker for our cat.👍

We have been using the airtags for our 3 cats and 1 dog since July,2021, and works great because we live in busy city area. Our cats are completely indoor cats, let your cats in/outdoors cats is a risk and I sure you know what those risks are. Don’t let them outdoor freely and then one day, the cats never come back or whatever…🥲, also risks of other diseases and if in the jungles, animals can kill,eat them.. also in the cities and car accidents… etc **So our cats very sneaky. One of them name Tobi, and he with multiple times got outside ran around the neighbor, and even got into our under house which is so nasty and difficult with one ppl help. Without the airtag we could not direct where he was.. the Airtag helped us ,to look where exactly he was using the bell and direction arrow. That was Round 2,3pm. Also had the time he jumped into the next neighborhood ( we live in mobile home ,has the high wall between other mobile home) at 2,3 AM ! We were so freaked out because could not found the signals of his airtag , we did almost give up, but we still tried to push the bell on our phone. And the sound looked like behind our house so at f late night AM , we jumped into the wall, walked to that house ….we tried to find our cat. The sound came from one of the car of the owner house. We tried to bring our car lifter silencing not wake up ppl. But in the end ..we could not help. We needed to knock the door of the owner house , luckily, they were nice ppl, and did not pissed off us. They got into their car and opened the front car. My cat was rlly hiding in there OMG! I grabbed him and held tight! Thank for them and then we walked around back to our mobile home area. P/s that we don’t know these ppl, we just live between the wall . So again, airtag did and still do help us a lot. You needed to live in the crowd areas and also the things between like car, wAlls , etc also effect the signals of the airtag. Needed to move around until u find the signals. We were lucky and airtag helps a lot. Other time he got into under our house which so nasty and dark etc… my bf even needed to clawl underneath. I was the exit to wait to catch my cat. All the times were tired and exhausted but we had airtags. Then other times other cats also got out… the airtags helped me not too freaked out and slowly caught them back in. Most of the was 2,3 AM 🥲🥲

Great video!! Love all cats names .. Dexter Morgen has be my fav ☺️☺️. Thanh’s for the review. Lucky 🍀 cats 🐈 get live a great life

I could not convince my HOUSE cats to wear a collar :) Perhaps they're bored. Their highest priority after getting a collar, is to get rid of the collar :)

Lovely man loves his animals ❤

I just ordered an air tag and a collar with air tag holder like the one u have for chonky. Looks fun to know where she's at when I'm working hahaha

...dag. Didn't get the information we needed until just after minute 14! (Why?) Dude, "Accuracy, Brevity, & Clarity".

Smokey was precious!❤ all of your cats are sweet and and adorable 🥰

Not any use if you really want to be able to track your furbabies if you can't find them. Hopefully you'll be able to get something better later 😊

Did a bird or coyote eat Smokey?! My cats refuse to wear slaveties..lolz..they always lose them outside somewhere .i gave up...wildones stay wildones

This video gave me many years of live! Such a wonderful kitties ❤

We had a cat called Smokey he looked like chunky. he disappeared and we never saw him again:(( had these been around then at least we would have had some idea of where he went or had some closure.

With an AirTag, I can tell just before my cat wants to come in every time. He stays away when he wants to be out but as he strolls close to the house, I get an alert message. It seems that every time I get that alert message he's ready to come in. I wish it was more useful as I gladly would've paid 70 or $80 for one that allowed me to see where he was at a farther distance.

Those cats have the best life possible. Sorry for the missing one. Do you have snakes and coyotes?

Yes...sudden disappearance of outdoor cat is very painful :(

white side air tag is louder. go white on outside not silver like you have

I have the Tractive cat GPS and it has long range signal

Loved this video. Tried to “like” it 3 times 😂

Thanks for the video. One of our cats house looking for her for hours, So we were curious if AirTags work for anyone else with the kitties. Very cute video! All the cats and your dog seem to be super harmonious with one another 😀

You should have referred to them as keeping tabs on TABBY. Like that one?

Thanks for the video. I see your reception was weaker than you expected. Suggestion, you're religiously placing the shiny metal apple to the outside of the collar. However, I think the antenna is on the plastic white side of the airtag. So, you're broadcasting the signal into the cat's neck, which makes it weaker. If you put the white side outwards, try the reception again, then its not going into the cat's neck, the reception may increase. I'm quite interested this topic, not totally sure, so if U can LMK if I'm right about this.

Your animals all look beautiful and healthy

5:10 still has iOS 8 wallpaper lol

If you lived in the city you could always find them lol.

Wish I was there to play with them all!!!!!

4:40 ain't that the chunky calling the chunky chunky?

Your cats are so pretty I love them! Thanks for the video!

I should think it would drive the cats nuts to wear a collar that bleeps. They have extremely sensitive hearing. Please do NOT make the Tag bleep except in emergency.

Ive been lookin at a couple trackers and was hesitant on AirTags but this video helped out

I want to know how you attached the AirTag to the collar. That’s what I’m finding a challenge.

Bluetooth did it''s job and my cats went quickly out of range. I liked the last know place but the cat and collar scratched and scratched tell all the hair wore off so I took mine off.

ITS GARTH BROOKS TWIN!!

Safe?? Then what about the streets and stray dogs

You made my day

It’s not showing in real time

I love this , beacuse i lost my cat, coz he just decided to disappear But my other cats dont want to wear a collar so this is going to be hard but it doesn't give you the exact loccation on your phone right? and cats are weird they just disappear, we seriouusly need some new technology

Airtag are not GPS. So they are absolutely garbage in a farm, field etc 😢

Bluetooth expander or bluetooth speakers can expand of up to 300 feet. Maybe an idea ?

OH MY AN OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG 🎉❤😊 YOU SHOULD MEET MY DUKE!!!!

What AirTag holder do you use on the collar

Coyote took smokey

Hi Chad. Nice episode as usual. As soon as Mollie comes into the picture our Elmore starts barking and we have to hold on to him as otherwise he jumps up at our tv.🙈😂

Amazing cats video ..great work ..good job

Our cat was always free to run around and come inside her little home we made for her in the gardenshed (in a normal urban area) and we only had one incident where she has gone missing for 2 days on her own. After 16 years, on one day she disappeared completely (She probably was just hiding in order to die in peace like cats like to do). RIP Edit: Also im pretty sure she died naturally cause she was really shy, cautious and smart about everything. Avoiding stuff that moved, that was a loud noise etc.

my cats went missing in the countryside.. after about 1year they were 13years old. On my you tube channel. Hawks and possible being trapped to SPCA, we asked but neighbors denied it. SPCA kills animals after 6 days. Don't always put pics up for you to identify. I checked and was unable to see mine, too late when working out of town. Animal control doesn't want you to cage but 2 per house.. even if you have an enormous catio and they are healthy.. that's how our problems occurred. Hope yours stay safe. Mine always stayed in my yard. MISS THEM ALL😢❤

I Need to Know were you buy those rubber cases Please Share a Link

I can see you love you Cats they love you I’ve just bought an apple air tag thanks for the video

Where do you buy your collars? Are they safety break away?

Airtags are the only Good thing Apple made.the rest is shit though

You are awesome. That was fun to watch. Looking forward to trying mine...for my cats...LOL

Appears useless

your cats are so content in when you hold them they love you so much

That’s Nice tools for cat’s safe 👍👍👍

Thanks

OK, I'm waiting to see your catnip patch (or jungle) :)

You crack me up😂 thank you for the info definitely useful.

Such a helpful review/field test thank you sir!!

Yes!!! Our collars are safety collars too and they also have a key fob for their little door so a lost collar is a lost fob

Chunky!!!!

Great video! loved your cats and dog! funny and informative.

yeah air tag won't work when you actually need it. when the cat runs off from the farm area like the two you lost.. there would need to be other phones in the area to ping the tag.. which is unlikely in the remote area. and since the cat is mobile, it would only show the last place it was ping at What we need is GPS tracker that is not charging monthly fee else only option is keep them indoors

The Chipolo Spot works with same Apple find my app and might be better because it has a longer range according to multiple tests I've seen on RU-vid but it doesn't have the directional arrow.

have you tried bluetooth extender

The signal from the air tags has to be able to bounce off of a tower so there needs to be decent signal. You may be too far out.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would bet that Dexter is the one that cross borders 😹😹😹😹😹😹

Seems pretty useless for a lost cat.

I know immediately when he started talking that he’s a fellow Canadian ❤

Thanks for sharing and great cat intro montage!

I truly enjoy your videos. Going to subscribe. xo

I would love something for our basset hound.

I'm getting Airtags for all three of my indoor cats just incase they escape (we have two escape artists). I'm still debating whether I'm gonna get them collars specifically made for Airtags of whether I'll hang them from their collars like you have done.

Sorry about smoky

This is a great video and although it could have been cut in half, I enjoyed watching you interact with them. Just a question though - I wanted to use the audio alert to find my indoor cat but not sure if the alert is too loud and would scare her as was the case with my Tile tracker. What was your experience.

Nice video! Think the AirTags might work better in more urban areas like cities. More people there with iPhones and when a tag passes an iPhone you actually get pinged with a location. But it worked quite decent. Considering maybe getting a few for our cats, just to be safe. They’re chipped already but also nice to have one on them just in case 😻

Helpful, thank you. Cute pets.

Your cats are so beautiful and live their best life!!

Thanks! Sounds perfect. As I type this I have not seen my cat in 15 hours. He's ok, but I have no idea where he is right now.

I’d worry about them getting wet or destroyed.🐸🍺🔪🔥

Far better than paying for a GPS with subscription fees, even if it's not always real time and only works through compatible ios devices nearby

I have a 5 month kitten that’s dying to go out by himself but I’m scared he’s going to get lost or hurt so I’ve been looking for a pet gps that doesn’t have a yearly subscription to keep him safe

Our Rudy is grey also he’s fluffy too 😂

Great Video! I LOVE the super large subscribe button ad that is in the bottom left-hand corner at 15:57. The white is semi-transparent which lets the red color jump out to be the attention-grabbing color that it is. Then you put it on a clip where the background is clean and non-chaotic which made the ad stand out too. I have never seen this done like this before but I do know someone I will be passing this idea onto. Anyways, It DOES work because I was just about to click out and then this popped and I am like, "Oh, Ya, I forgot to subscribe" and so I did! Thank YOU!

You are a cool person

Dude you are a sweet guy. You love your barn cats. Many farmers just use cats for mouse and rat clearance and don’t care or take care of their cats. Cats don’t live long in my area because of coyote kills in San Dimas, CA. We have a huge invasion of coyotes.
