Whether the cat goes outside settles this. The Tractive GPS CAT has GPS and geofence alerts, so it can be followed well away from home, but the battery lasts about 5 days, a subscription is required, and it weighs 25.5 g. The Tile Mate has no GPS and only works within Bluetooth range, yet runs about 1095 days, needs no subscription, and weighs 8 g. Tractive if escape is a real worry; the Tile Mate is enough for a cat you occasionally lose indoors.
