Inventions U Like

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?

Hmm. I suspect the GPS/radio combo draws too much current to make a good microchip, particularly if the radio is going to have the range of (say) a cellphone. I'll toss the idea at some suitable geniuses and marketroids and see what happens :-)

They manage it somehow for migratory birds, and they're smaller than cats. I keep hoping.
