A Cat's-Eye View: Adventures Captured on an Action Camera

A Tom's Guide editor strapped an Insta360 Go 2 camera to his cat's collar to see what his feline companion does when he goes outside. The camera, which is smaller than a thumb, takes extraordinary video for its size and has built-in motion stabilization. The editor found that his cat mostly sits around, but the camera did capture him climbing a tree and chirping at a nearby bird. The editor plans to send his cat out again with the camera to see if he captures anything else of interest.

Tile introduces cat-tracking accessory with long battery life.

Tile is now offering a cat-tracking bundle that includes a Sticker tracker and a new collar attachment to keep tabs on your pet. The Sticker tracker can be detected from 250 feet away and has a built-in battery that can last for three years. The Tile for Cats accessory comes in black and white and costs $40, which is a good deal considering the tracker by itself normally costs $30. However, the overall look of the accessory still seems a bit bulky and the silicone material of the collar attachment might be a fur-sticking annoyance.
