Inventions U Like

[la_marquise]

So, last night, Ish decided to play dirty stop out and drive us nuts with not coming when called. He eventually strolled in at around 12.30, looking smug and wondering what all the fuss was about. And this reminded on an invention I really want.
I want a GPS locator as part of a cat's identity chip, such that when said cat plays hookey, I can log on and see when he or she is.
(I know there are radio collars, but they're not very practical as they presently stand.)
I want someone to hurry up and invent this, please.
What inventions do you really, really want?

Well, not on the implant chip, but on the collar :-)

[EDIT: ah, that's probably what you meant by radio collar (now *I* feel so foolish!)]

Here are some

But as you can see, some of these are ridiculously large, and will get lost within days!

If they can put a GPS in a mobile phone *and* all that other junk, you'd think they could make a cat tracker smaller ...

Yep, those are the ones I meant. Much too big and not very safe, I think, as they could easily get caught on things.

I'm sure that falconers have very small radio devices to track their hawks (and if it's small enough for a hawk...)

Of course they can imp the ariel to the tail feathers, which helps.

What you need is kitties with wings.

Or perhaps not ;)

I'm pretty sure that Ish or Horus with wings would be even more of a handful. (Moon of course would be her usual courteous self.)
