In the December 2012 issue of Popular Communications there is an article by
Gordon West wb6noa about a system that uses RFID tags and a 220 mHz receiver
for locating pets. Because its an RF transmitter it sends out a signal
whether the cat moves or not. You should be able to download that issue from
BARD to get more information.

That's why I don't like most cats, cause they don't act like dogs and their
claws are much sharper! Jim WA6EKS

I sat outside for five hours yesterday morning listening for escaped cats.
They know if they get out, that I can't find them if they don't move.  Well,
that left me plenty of time to think.  I have never seen one of those key
finder things, where you have one device that makes a noise, and a remote
that activates it.  So is the receiver to heavy for a cat collar?  
Wouldn't
the cats be surprised to make noises when they didn't move?  Is this idea
pheasible with out being inhumane?

You know they are sitting stock still a foot and a half out of my reach;
laughing their heads off at me.
