G-Paws is a unique GPS device developed to answer the question that owners have asked ever since the invention of the cat flap: “where does my cat go at night?"

The light (15g), weatherproof unit contains a multi channel GPS receiver, a rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery and a flash memory. With enough power on a single charge for eight hours recording G-Paws will reveal where a cat goes after dark, who it visits and where its favourite hang-outs are.

In addition to the G-Paws unit, a website has been developed where G-Paws users can download their pets data and set up profiles for them on what has been described as the first social network for pets.

The website will allow users to view their pets' activities on Google maps as well as share photos, videos and other news from their pets, be they cats, dogs or budgerigars. The G-paws unit connects to a computer via a mini USB cable (supplied) for both charging and data transfer.



G-Paws will be available from May and will be priced at under £50. The unit will come with three collar attachments, giving it a secure and robust fixing to small cat collars, dog collars and even oversized collars.

Although G-Paws has been primarily developed for cats, it also has significant uses for dog owners who want to know how far and fast their dog has traveled.

This is particularly pertinent given the rise of professional walkers and G-Paws gives peace of mind for a dog owner that their pet is being sufficiently exercised.

The website will be free to use with Google maps and a provision for unlimited pet profiles. The site has been developed on a social network multi-lingual platform to allow users to have fun and interact with other ‘pets’ around the world.



Commenting on the new product, Andrew Geere, CEO of The Accapi Group, the worldwide distributor of G-Paws, said: “There are real-time GPS trackers available, but these are expensive, heavy and use mobile phone signals which are never that reliable.

"G-Paws has been developed as a fun product and we know every cat owner at sometime has been curious about where their cat disappears to. The product is also attractive to dog owners and the development of the website further enhances the fun element of the product.

"We are gearing up for a global phenomenon of a social network for pets driven by the first ever GPS data recorder small enough for dogs, cats, probably even pigeons!”
