Get one of those flashing LED collars. Although that might only work

The cat at the laundromat may have one of those. It has a wide nylon
collar with some sort of bulky module attached. If the cat cared about
fashion it would commit suicide. It's scrawny and some sort of long

The collar and whatever is attached would scale better on a Doberman.



Cat door opener?

Ha ha good one! Can it press the button with it's little paw? Maybe an
electric
fence for a cat?


There are all kinds of cat doors which are only supposed to open for the
correct cat, usually involving something that triggers the door to open
when the cat is very near the door.


They don't work.

and cats don't understand this. They just slam into the door. I have one

certain place for it to pick up the signal, a cat can't do that.


They dont need to with the best designs.
