Hello, I'm reading that this device comes with two homing tags. Does that mean I can use it on two cats together?

Yes. You can use it for a total of 4 cats if you were to buy two more homing tags. You program each tag to a button. It's nice because you can go searching for both cats (one at a time of course) without having to have more than one device.

Yes. You can tag two cats and search for them independently. The device you use to search for the tags allows you to have up to four separate tags.

Yes. You need to set up each tag to correspond to a button. There are enough buttons on the locator for 4 tags at once.

I know amazon sells a set of two, I have the same problem 3 cats and I didn't feel like paying for the extra one. One of my little boys is always around so I let him do without. I checked on the makers website and it seems they only sell them in pairs.

Yes, this worked for me when I had a large area and one cat..Now I have two cats that want their own tunnel's..created my own double run..

I don't think it will. It barely recognizes a person. I admit I didn't try it with our two girls but you will need something a lot more sensitive. Nothing comes to mind to suggest. Good luck with your cats!

Yes, it comes with an ID tag (2 actually). The flap is very finiky - sometimes it works great but other times it takes a while to read our cat's tag and he can't get in right away. Other than that, it's easy to set up, and training was a breeze. I just wish it was 100% reliable...

I think it might be possible for one cat to tailgate another, but I think it is unlikely. The flap only locks when it closes, so if the second cat was immediately behind the first and got its nose through the opening before the flap fell it would get in. But the flap falls quite quickly and locks immediately, so the second cat would have to be more or less in contact with the first on the way through.

I have two cats, and it works fine. They take turns eating. But they are very good friends and used to eat out of the same bowl anyway, even though I provided them 2 bowls.

As long as your cat is with you within a 200-400 foot range (and you are holding the receiver) then yes. But if your cat goes beyond that distance than you will need to move to a new location and see if you can pick up a signal (which you will once you go in the right direction and are now within 200-400 feet of where your cat is. This is the only device small enough for a cat's neck. If GPS units were smaller, I'd suggest those because of their better range of tracking.Hope this helps.

Yes, it works with the same collars. We use this to keep the cat in at night. We have to make sure the dogs' collars are off before we plug it in.

If you go to the manufacturer's website, you can purchase two homing tags (the thing that goes around the collar) for $49.95. It comes in a pack of 2.

I bought the original set up + an extra collar, for two dogs. The packaging said it would replace a non-functioning primary collar or could be added for a second dog. The collars are exactly the same and there are directions for syncing multiple or a single collars with the replacement collar. However, I have not tried to use the second collar by itself on the system. Hope this helped and did not overly confuse you.

I just took a look at mine. I think two ten-pound cats would be a really snug fit...I wouldn't do it. This particular carrier is smaller than my other PetMate carriers. (I put two cats in my PetMate without thinking twice about it.) I got the Marchioro Clipper because I have a cat that gets car sick and the carrier has side release clips that make it a breeze to separate the top and the bottom for cleaning purposes.

I believe the "plus" system will trigger an alarm if the pet leaves a pre-defined perimeter. Because of the directionality of the RF transmitter/receiver, this may or may not be a good thing. It also eats batteries at a faster pace. For my cat, I new he wouldn't stay in one area. I have no problem finding him when I need to locate him.

No you do not need more than one of the locators. However, if your cats roam far from the house, this is not the product for you.

It is my understanding that the unit "Includes 2 RFID Disc, works with up to 8 disc." The unit had done amazingly well with our 5 semi-feral (trapped, neutered, released) cats. We used the two discs that came with the system and purchased three more with a couple of extras. The cats adapted remarkably well to wearing a collar with the disc (which is a bit larger than the usual pet ID tag) and learning how to operate the door. (The disc does have a place for owner contact information.) The cats now have access to a screened porch, heated cat houses, food and water. Most importantly - no raccoon has broken in. We are so very thankful for this product.

No. It didn't work at all with my cats. I used it for months and they just walked right past it.

Yes it worked with my 2 cats. One cat quickly learned I would come running so she ignored the sound and just sat on it to see how fast I could get there. The other avoided the area like the plague.
