- I GPS Tracked My Cats For 24 Hours. After recently letting Ralph & Tom outside for the first ever time, Ralph went missing overnight. I bought a GPS Tracking Device to find out where he went!

FAQs:
- Both cats are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped
- I’d love to put a camera on Ralph but that would be invasive of my neighbour’s privacy
- The collar is by a brand called Weenect. It was a bit temperamental, and we lost the first one (it had a faulty battery so we couldn't track it to find it), but the company were great a sent a replacement for free. Not sure I'd recommend it nonetheless. Definitely do your research and read all the reviews before choosing a GPS collar yourself
- The plan is to never let them out at night - it’s just once every week or two that Ralph doesn't come home. The catflap doesn’t have a setting where you can let cats in but not out again
- The collars are quick-release so they can’t hurt themselves. Ralph loses his collar A LOT. The collars also have bells to make it harder for them to catch wildlife.
The previous video “Kitten's First Time Outside” explain in a lot more detail!

Responsible!
Thank you for the wonderful videos. I personally respect the decision to let your cats out. Although it can be bad for wildlife, especially birds, I respect that you have taken measures against that. Cats have driven many species of birds extinct. I hope you cats stay safe, the outside world has cars. Good day to you
"Know before you go!" Applies to kitty cats as well :-)
Oh, and one more thing... You can buy cat doors that you can leave open both ways, lock both ways, or lock one way but open the other way, in or out.
I think it's really dangerous for cats to be let outside. Outdoor cats only live half as long as indoor cats, usually meeting sudden and tragic deaths.
My bf: why were you up so late last night?
Me: I was watching a British dude track his cats.
My bf: ...
Aerialist Olive 😆😆😆😆😆😆
the correct answer is "wow honey thats cool, you need to show me that" lol
its true i was the cat
Bf= British friend
Aerialist Olive yeapppp
Ugh. Cats leaving and not returning is my kryptonite. Glad he came back!
Why do people let cats out without a leash wtf
@@lantaivo i agree its like letting a rabbid dog out in a yard with no fence its damgrous for others but for the cat as well becouse there increased chances of getting worms or any other deisiese infact thats a deisiese that if your cat contracts it your in danger and this is often found in any soils so next time you see a cat walking the streats with a gingleing color know that they probably have the potential for 5 diffrent worms 2 illnessses a respiratory infection and hidden wounds that have abscessed and become infected from unwillingness to be treated by the owners becouse they thinknthere cute wibble babber kitter dosent go fight AAANNNY THING
the artwoolf cats have been outside, unattended, for thousands of years. Many birds have gone extinct because of cats. Mostly, they can survive in the wild. That said, if you’re in a populated area with a lot of cars, etc, many people choose to leave cats indoors. But... that has its own issues. My cats are indoor cats. We have leashes. But they also want the freedom to explore alone, and may try to escape. One of my cats was killed this way. So while leashes might seem logical, cats are cats. And they’re gonna cat. Because they give no feks.
@@lantaivo they do it so that the cats can get enough air and excercise, and it is actually safe if you do not live in a big city. So its good for the cat
Did his first cat pass away? Mine recently passed away :(
"The only real surprise was the sheer amount of time he seemed to spend sleeping"
...I did not need to feel called out like that.
How did I read this comment and hear the same thing on the video at the same time.

Have a feeling your cat is actually a catnip dealer.
Bradknightable is catnip drugs for cats?
R4iz _! No, it’s just a sent that cats LOVE.
R4iz _! It’s catcaine
Son Goku oh my lord xD
THATS WHY HE GOES THROUGH ALL THOSE GARDENS , HE HAS A STASH OF CATNIPTHAT HE PLANTS AND SELLSS
you need to get on google maps and see what's so darn interesting about that bungalow!!!
No idea. They have a greenhouse? As far as I'm away they don't have a cat, and the homeowners presumably sleep through the night and don't feed him. I wish I knew!
They may leave out cat flap at for hedgehogs.
@@HalfAsleepChris put a camera on him
If they have a greenhouse with mint plants inside, every cat in the neighbourhood would go there
Does Tom go as well do you know??
Catnip is a mint plant and other variants such as valerian root have a similar effect on them
If they leave out food for hedgehogs, it's usually cat food so he could be eating it
Bird feeders and squirrel feeders could provide hours of entertainment just watching them if he doesn't try to hunt
Enchanted Little Me maybe There’s lots of mice or birds there or they might be growing something like catnip in their green house and is trying to get to it. That’s what I’m thinking
If I ever have kids I swear I'd be showing them this video. This is like top shelf kids content
but still a video a grown up can enoy whatching
@@calleknave8811 oh absolutely! I mean, I finished the whole thing myself and I'm a grown-ass adult lol... It just gives off those wholesome warm childhood flashback vibes:)
Stick with cartoons
Yes! It's too bad that the kids in my family don't understand English yet, I would love to show it to them
Oh definitely. With the singing? Can see it on a kids show easily
i think the bigger question is...
'WHAT WAS IN RALPHS FAV BUNGALOW?!'
He is part of O.W.C.A from Phineas and Ferb he leaves the collar there. Only entrance in the neighborhood.

Not surprising. Cats spend up to 18 hours a day sleeping.
Lots of time spent self grooming too.
Fly high Tom and regie you’ll always be remembered
We will always miss them❤❤

@@sucymanbavaran3001 Gary come home
I think the areas he avoided were other cats' territories.
or gardens with dogs iv seen cats walk the fence line of my house to avoid going in my garden because are dog would run outside and watch them
Warrior clansss
He's been patrolling and most likely marking (again) his territory. If there any other cats in the area, he might start coming home with some scratches or even worse, depends how territorial he gets and how strong the other cat will be.
"RALPH IF YOU CAN HEAR ME PLEASE COME HOME!" on the megaphone was funny
We need to put a GPS on Perry the Platypus
Yes!

I am so confused by the intended audience for this video. It’s like an adult video interspersed with phrases and jingles that make it sound like it’s made for six year old kids.
I liked it! It’s quirky. But...it’s kind of confusing.
A K The audience would be for the fun “people” amongst us who are still light-hearted enough to NOT take things so seriously and enjoy the simplicity of life that subtlety unfolds around us... most people take that for granted with their crabby, crotchety ways or they simply never slow down enough to observe it (😏we call them asleep) What he captured is that same feeling you got in kindergarten when it was circle-time🧸🍪📚🥛🎨It still exists in adulthood, but people have to get over themselves to find it; and WE JUST DID!!💥
This ain’t treehouse. Bitches cocaine and money is where’s it’s at. Cyka blyat. Let’s see them titties pop out baby. Hoorah
just because it's fun doesn't mean it's intended for kids
It's for adults (that's me wishing it not to be children's content because then it won't have comment section and not adding to playlist)

A couple of years ago in summer my one cat disappeared. She is an old cat so i feared she had gone out and died somewhere since she had at this point been gone for over a month. Then another month passes, she comes running back hungry af. Never seen her eat so much in my life.
Now every summer, she will be gone for weeks at end before returning home for a couple of days, before going off again. We found out she spends all her time in the huge forest behind our neighborhood. When we are out for a walk in the forest we sometimes meet her. When she sees it's us, she will walk with us home, get some food and head out again. This only happens around summer times. We like to think she goes off on a vacation or two in summer like people usually do x)
Edit: Be wary of helicopter cat moms. Little haters 😂😂
My cat sometimes goes outside for 2 days straight and it mostly happens in winter
I think if I was a cat I would spend my time in a forest, it would be cool to climb up a tree and be hidden while watching what was happening below. I might even see a Sasquatch 😀
She’s a warrior now
kudos to you for being a shitty pet owner and exposing your cat to hungry wildlife, cars and psychopaths.
Vanessa Patterson cats are hunters - I suspect it’s the wildlife that should beware the cat
4:03 Wait a sec... That's a tail!
I think Ralph likes to hunt. He must practice catch and release because he comes in for snacks.
This feels like super wholesome children’s content I love it
"Tom"
*starts tearing up* i.. i haven't heard that name in a year..
I know, everything passes,
The only reason Tom doesn't move as much is because your GPS can't track movement from different timelines *duh*
In one he is a human and his mom is a bolling ball
@@foxi9009 eddsworld
shyguy king you make no sense
@@zac.d.photographyyonig7213 he does not make sense but I now know what he said, In one timeline he is a human and his mom is a bowling ball
"ralph if you can hear will you please come home" i died at that part
Why is no one else talking about this?!
It's funny yet I keep tearing up at it
Welcome to cats: We had ours go missing but he came back fine.
P.S. will the famous golden gate bridge return now the cats are outside?
As a Cat owner i can tell you, cats always go somewhere.
Its been 7 years since i own my caracal and he has to go somewhere.
He always come back at night for food or water.
So if Ralph goes somewhere he will come back eventually
Best 9 minutes I've spent in a very long time! Well done and thanks for sharing.
If Ralph’s a superhero, then his archnemesis must live over at his “favorite bungalow”
The Jokedog vs The Dark Fluffball.
It makes me happy to know that Ralph and Bella are properly cared for though it makes me sad to know that Tom and Reggie are no longer alive😢😢😢
You have the most British accent I've ever heard
lol I thought so too, but this is not that incomprehensible dialect that sounds like you're chewing drunk on a golfball
Ok do the check/tick sign... what's it for? The pretending your a 'growing youtuber' or ... >:)
Yeah he's definitely putting it on partially,
Actually, you sound like a young Harry Potter. So back to Hogwarts soon then? Interesting vid by the way.
No, im british he has a lisp my frind has the same thing. It makes him sound really young
Man. You've got the most wholesome content I've ever seen.
Mystery solved: Even though you feed them, your cats still have an instinct to hunt and kill that needs to be satisfied for the cat to be emotionally OK. The long stays in one place is the cat on the prowl, waiting for mice to come out and the loop-arounds are the cat playing with the mouse before killing it
I would say yes, but if you've ever seen a cat play with a mouse before killing it, it's usually within a few feet.....not the size of a backyard.
Chris,you are the most wholesome man in the world
You need new friends.
@@chocomanger6873?
But he is also a numbskull for letting his cats outdoors.
@@peterbelanger4094 literally everyone let's their cats outside
@@peterbelanger4094 What a sad life for a cat to be trapped in someone's home all the time. Cats are meant to roam the neighbourhood.
The bungalows garden he frequents is clearly where he eats the kills he makes throughout the neighbourhood, but especially around the park. You think he's a superhero, but alas, he is the villain. Keep your cats inside kids. Native wildlife and cats don't mix.
I feel like we just watched a serial killer at night 🧐
@@flow5718 Haha yeah gorgeous little villains nonetheless 😉
A large number of house cats, likely the majority, don't kill or eat any creature other than insects.
There is no need to keep your cat in if you have no evidence they kill anything.
@@martind2520 Lol! Not where I live, and most cat owners are oblivious to their cats serial killer tendencies, Martin. I myself was oblivious to my Bailey's antics for quite some time. It's easy to be fooled by a devil as cute as a kitteh.
@@truevegas
I'm not saying that house cats don't cause problems to the environment. I'm saying that the majority of problems are caused by a few cats and in those cases the owners will likely have seen the cat bring home some of the prey.
Most cats cause no problems, but a few cause a significant problem.
I saw that tapir by the camera. You should see if you can get cameras for your cats collars if its possible and see what's so interesting about the bungalow
the corbin show or hook up a GoPro on their back. 😂
I only recently discovered your channel, and I'm enjoying it.
WRT Tom and the guinea pig, I'm not surprised. One flat I lived in, I had a mini yard. My neighbor, Pam, had a French lop rabbit. It was blast watching my Maine coon, Miz Brat, playing with the rabbit, Edward. Cat even tried hopping like Edward, and Pam and I laughed a lot.
Abt the cat going out, crawling under a bush, and sleeping, common. There are records of cats sleeping 10 to 18 hrs a day.
I have a cat name Tom too. My father let him play outside but then he never come back. I was worried and do his cat sound loudly like he does.
It's been 3 or 4 months. My father said " he will come back, just wait". So, I'll wait and wait .
Every time we go somewhere, we look around the neighborhood searching for him. I hope he will come back. 😢😢😢
I've heard one trick to getting lost animals back is to set out something like, their blanket or favorite scratch pad. Or something with your scent on it(unwashed shirt/etc.).
Works wonders as far as i've heard.
Have you found him yet?!
My poor child after three or four months don't hold out hope. get another cat. pray that your cat will come back but don't bet on it.
@@bonniebellekalos318 , we are all well aware that these words mean little if in fact that cat turned out to have only been missing for a bit then caught and killed by something with more hunting skill.
lost-lost is an easier thing to contemplate then lost-dead, don't be patronizing for us being politely hopeful.
@@prcervi I am surprised that my realistic advice based on my experience of having literally hundreds of cats would warrant replies that have a feeling of vehement anger. My sad experience with numerous cats that turned up missing taught me not to be over sentimental. I still grieve lost cats from my childhood 50 years ago. When I think of my cats I could literally cry and I have even been chastised for grieving over cats. You never stop loving them. You just get on with your life unfortunately. I still say hurry up and get another cat preferably one that really needs you. It won't fix a broken heart but it will soothe it for a little while and you'll help another cat in need.
I clicked on this by accident and was really glad I did!
This is the most wholesome youtube video I have ever seen!
Or.... Dont let it go out unsupervised (?)
This person sounds like James Veitch.
You mean British?
When we first got our cat two years ago, I used to try to keep him in the gate. When I noticed him outside of the gate, I would go get him. I look back at that time and those efforts in laughter.
"RALPH IF YOU CAN HEAR THIS WILL YOU PLEASE COME HOME?" Makes me laugh every time. RIP Tom.
I think Ralph needs that GPS device permanently on him just in case
I love it!!!! Ralph the night owl 🤩🤩 he’d be having a ball!!!
3:17 You sure that’s not a pile of living human hair?
Omg lol
I’m freakin cryyyiinnnggg!!! This is so hilarious to me because I’ve had cats my whole life and I completely understand and relate to every bit of this video and the dialogue. Perfection!! Keep up the excellent work! 👍
Ur production quality is exceptional, great job
Cat is a natural Hunter, even much better than dogs. They had high curiosity, especially at night, where everything looks so strange and catchy in the dark. So maybe he chase something (bugs, rodents,etc). and the other fact is male cat is more adventurous than female. They look after another female cats, you can compare it if you have a couple of cats. Male cat is easier to get lost.
this editing makes me so calm and happy
I swear you made my heart stop in the last video. Leaving at a cliff hanger, huh.
I’m so glad that Ralph is ok and love that joke where Tom time travels 🧭 hope your well and is Tom ok 👍
I just love this story….interesting and hilarious…especially Ralp😂😂. Thank you for sharing in such an interesting and informative way. I ll definitely need a cat tracker as my cat loves to be outdoors for long hours
I'm more concerned about that single guinea pig. In some countries, its against the law to just have 1. They need another piggie.
This! And outside? Someone's gonna come home to a mess in that cage.
Ur suppose to watch ur cats when they are outside... this is why dog lovers hate cat lovers. Keep this up and your doing the correct steps to get your cats killed. Don't know where you live but in my area I've seen tons of careless cat owners let their cat out and there cat is dead the next day. It is usually coyotes being the main cause of death for cats in my area but two cats were once shot by a guy protecting his chickens, and the Hawks will kill the small cats.
It has nothing to do with dogs. Cat owners who let their cats roam outside are idiots and directly harming the local ecosystem with their inability to think. Should be legal to shoot the damn things, collar or no.
Yup also destroys the ecosystem
@@leadbelly1495 I'm not against cats going outside, I just want their stupid owners to watch the damn cat. It really isn't looking good for cat owners like me to have all these lazy bones letting their cats out unsupervised to kill the ecosystem. Pisses me off, I just want to slap some logical sense in these lazy owners faces.
@@clsmith03 People like u r the root of the problem. Since I've learned u can never change peoples mind with word look up Asia feral cat hunting and you should find a video where they shoot cats. They also explain what they are doing and why. Wanna know why? Because people release their pets and they go on to severely harm the native population. If u don't get it after that then don't respond. You won't get the time of day.
Exactly this... Cute video, but letting your cats roam free like that is a big nope. Not only do they hunt the local wildlife, but it’s also super dangerous. Wasn’t there this one situation in the UK in the past where they thought there was a crazy cat killer running around, but it turned out it was just a lot of outdoor cats getting killed by accident? Just keep an eye on your cats...
clearly you have a small adventurer in your house.
There's one cat that has taken on the job of mailman for 2 families during the quarantine. He carried notes back & forth all summer.
I can’t imagine leaving my cat to roam freely without my supervision
That depends on where you live...
Yea! I'm glad Ralph's back home and safe!
My cat likes going in the bush across the road and before we moved house, she used to go all the way down the road to the church. She has followed me to the shops before in hopes of getting dreamies but she doesn’t go too far.
My cat Felix has escaped 2 times but he has always come back. He is soooooo cute and lovable!!!
I bet Ralph regrets leaving so much and wishes he spent more time with Tom 😢
Rest in piece Tom and Reggie you were good boys 🫶😢
I dont understand what u mean!! They not D I E
@@Fayth.angeline tom and Reggie died :(
Also when your cat dissapeared, he most likely whent to hunt a mouse or two as its a common thing among cats.

victor saloum finally someone with common sense, letting cats out should be illegal
victor saloum what’s wrong with that? Like I’m seriously asking I have no idea what you mean
Micah Boarts No, it shouldn’t, cats aren’t like dogs, they should be let outside every time they want to. Even if they’re domesticated, they’re still a little wild. My cat is outside the whole night(except in winter)
This reply chain has to be a joke, right?
sci-hub.tw/10.1002/jwmg.21181 just read this 11 year study and yall can see the damage.
Probably just hunting, cats are naturally supposed to be more active at night and sleep during the day
He was hunting most cats spend most there time trying to catch something or another when not sleeping
Sad
Are The New Cats Trying Out The Golden Bridge That You Made When Reggie was With You?
Your very lucky that you don't have wild predators...here in California USA COYOTES AND HAWK'S EAT CATS FOR SNACKS....🌭🍕🍗🍽👽
NOooooooOOOOOO
They also do that in Alabama! I live by a river and we also have a lit of big owls that take cats too.
Same here in Pennsylvania. Foxes and feral dogs are not cat friendly either.
Here in the area of Florida I’m in, I’m not too worried about animals taking my kitties, just the old people. They’ll either run them over or steal them so I keep mine in :(
In Washington we also worry about coyotes as well as bobcats, but it all depends on the neighborhood you live in. My kitties aren't ever going outside unsupervised!

Dont you mean chris?
I hate when they go away for days. Ours often lose their collars though, i wouldn't like to be replacing a GPS every month, even a £20 one like the vodafone curve.
I'll bet Ralph is avoiding a dog when he makes those loops. Or a really thick hedge.
I never get tired of that theme song...
What sort of gps collar did you get? Interested in one myself!
damn yeah, i miss my cat so much....

This is a huge cats rights violation :-D
I imagine that Ralph put the tracker on a squirrel 🐿 or something and did superhero stuff or sold catnip I can't decide which is funnier 😂
It’s a really bad idea to let cats go outside. Even Partially our door cats life expectancies are so much lower.
My cats are both outdoor cats and are 8 years old and still perfectly fine. I even lived by a busy street for 6 of those years but they never went near it. They also spend the vast majority of their outside time in the yard anyways where we can see them. They would be miserable if we kept them inside. As long as the cat knows not to go near busy roads and comes back every night it should be fine.
Sasha Pearsall I’m happy your cats are fine, unfortunately many aren’t and statistics show its much healthier and safer to live indoors. Without going into details I’ve personally found a neighbors cat dead because of its outdoor life. And saw another become diseased and increasingly sick. If you raise cats from kittenhood outdoors it can be hard to convince them to stay in. But oppositely my strictly indoor cat is terrified of outdoors and will never attempt to leave the house.
8:37 YAY the song is here again!
Reminds me of when I got locked out of my house and I had to spend a night out side. But my friend has a cat house so I slept in it. Totally disappointed about locking the door behind me outside.
Imagine this device be the twist in “ The Secret Life of Pets.”
Tom crying is so heartbreaking
“Tom is feeling so alone.”
Now poor Ralph is the one feeling alone
This shows that first time you thought Ralph was lost he was coming back home multiple times to eat but he was so fast that you never saw him
I was so captivated by Ralph's adventure I burnt my dinner.
Rip
darn
Oof

Bless you. Watching this, I thought I was going bonkers and that I was somehow getting smellovision . It was early morning here when I first watched it and seeing the cat eating meat there was a meaty smell wafted into my bedroom at EXACTLY the same time. My husband never has breakfast and my dogs have dry food so there’s no gross smell... then I found out my eldest son at home was up before noon on a weekend and having something strange to eat, maybe a chip shop steak pie 🥧. My hubster and son have had a good chuckle at me smelling ‘cat food’ but it says a lot for whatever my lad was eating! 🐈
