A number of emerging technological trends are ripe for juxtaposition:
1) RFID implants have been inserted into pets for many years, for identification.
2) Energy-harvesting chips based on vibration, ambient temperature differentials, etc, are gaining in capability.
3) Low-power GPS technology
is expected to follow the downward size/cost path.
So the idea is to combine these, and include various additional microelectronic sensors / power harvestors (thermometry, nano-scale chemical analysis) in the pet-injectible tags to allow remote monitoring of pet location / health / conditions.

Mightn't work on cats... they move about then generally fall asleep on rooftops. (No work->No motion->No power->No GPS->No work)... Perhaps, (and as I'm typing I'm thinking it ought to be a new post), a special solar panel for cats?

Attach gyroscopes to force them home? |

[csea], did you imagine, for a moment, that this idea would NOT eventually turn toward cats? Hmmm. <Here's GROG wondering if these Pet Metrics will still work if put through the rigors of that noble game, Skeet The Kitty> Let's try, shall we? PULL! (...Bun!... ... ... ... ... [+]) |

Nuclear batteries, shirley? |

Boy, all these [delete] links just staring at me, waiting to be used. |

Perhaps the idea should be extended to include other life forms besides pets... |
