Care and tech guidance
Most apartment cats. Microchip feeder and a clip tracker if they balcony-surf.
Domestic Shorthair is a small cat with medium energy. Fit, battery life, and the job you actually need matter more than a brand name.
Small cats do better with light hardware. Weight on the neck and indoor monitoring usually beat a heavy GPS stack.
Trackers aid recovery; they don't prevent escape. Keep safe zones and leash habits.
