So I put an AirTag on my cat, who promptly lost it in about a week.

I only know very roughly where the tag is. Its location is still being updated after two years. (Lost mode activated: Sept 6, 2021. Last seen 16 minutes ago.) I used to think it was two doors down, but its somewhere near the end of the block.

That's it. I have no better idea, because I have to be near it to make it beep, and I can't make it beep. The arrow mode doesn't trigger because I'm not close enough to it. Once -- and only once -- did the signal get strong enough to trigger mode, but it went away before I could do anything.

AirTags kind of suck. Even when I was playing with the tag in the house, I could only get the beep/arrow mode to work when I was in the same room with it, and at that point, I could literally see it.
