…times, and although they are totally indoor cats, when I can’t find one, I panic for fear of someone having escaped and been picked off by a car. This happened once, over 30 years ago, and it still haunts me.

Both of the cats have a device on their collars called a TILE. They were designed for finding things like car keys, etc, but they are also good critter locators. Very light weight, and the cats take no particular notice of them. They would only help in the house. There are several styles available. If you Google TILE, you’ll get to their website.

I find it great peace of mind.
