Hi! Kitty question for you. Do you take pictures of outdoor cats when you are on a walk or out and about?

OMG CATALOG. Are you KITTING me? I'm ded. This is super fun though. Actually, would be pretty sick if you track other wild lives. Like rabbits and geese. And ask people to verify if they are in the area...like Waze. Amazing product @justin_ruff! Love the creativity!

omggg this is so cute! For the past few months, I have enjoyed taking and posting pictures of my outdoor cats and sightings on reddit. This will be a new platform where I can see more cats😻
Justin Ruffier
@kehui_guo Pawesome! Cat spotting has become very popular lately. I've seen cats in 8 countries, and I'm looking forward to organizing all my cat sightings into one location. Thanks for following!

if the owner lose their cat when the cat is small for more than two months so that the cat grow up,how do you promise your recognition algorithm recognize the right cat ?

This is a really innovative idea for cat lovers! Questions: - How accurate is the facial recognition technology for identifying cats, especially if they look similar? - Do you have any plans to integrate this with existing pet recovery networks to help find lost pets more effectively? Congrats on the launch, Justin!
Justin Ruffier
@kyrylosilin Thanks for commenting! We do plan to integrate with other missing pet sites like Pawboost, Petco Love Lost, and Nextdoor. If you take a picture of a cat with Whisker Tracker, it will scan our database and cross reference the other missing pet sites for a match. We're still developing the facial recognition piece, but we'll have verified and unverified cat profiles and start the initial matching with a location radius. We don't need to compare a cat in California to a cat in Florida, for example. Great questions!

I love the photo cataloging feature. It’s fun to take pictures of the cats and see them all in the app.
Justin Ruffier
@steve_joe Thanks! I'm looking forward to tracking all my cat sightings on a map. We'll also capture the time and date of sightings, and if someone else sees them, there will be a log of all those cats' sightings as well.

I'm impressed with how the app helps manage outdoor cats. It’s a useful tool for anyone who cares for stray or feral cats.
Justin Ruffier
@victor_crum Totally! I'm hoping it will be fun for casual cat lovers and helpful to the rescue community.

Does Whisker Tracker raise any privacy concerns? For pet owners, it might not be a big deal, but researchers using this on wild animals would need to consider ethical implications.

Congrats on launching Whisker Tracker on Product Hunt! It's the purr-fect app for every cat lover and truly a fur-midable tool. With your claw-some kitty facial recognition, tracking our furry friends just got easier. Here’s to cat-aloging every purr-ecious moment and helping every missing pet find their way home. Pawsitively great job! 🐾🎉

I love that you can track your walks and see where you’ve spotted cats. It’s a nice way to combine exercise with cat-watching.
Justin Ruffier
@keira_stump Totally! There are event badges for how many cats you see in each walk. Walk further and find more cats to get more experience points!

Justin Ruffier
@rai_sen17 Great question! We'll have to see how it works out. If the facial features remain similar as they age, then it should work.
Iris Matt

I like the idea of helping to find missing pets. It adds a sense of purpose to using the app.

@kimberly_west Thanks! Over 9,000 pets go missing every day. We'll be able to help some of them get back to their loving homes.
