   If you want to get a trackable thing for your cat, then it's very possible.   
   You need to put a GPS and a mobile phone together, and add some hardware to   
   get the two to talk to each other. Then you can call up the chip and it   
   tells you where it is. The problems are:   
      
   Recieving a GPS signal through a human body would be hard.   
   These devices are not particularly small.   
   You need to power it.   
      
   Another *much* harder problem to solve (with respect to kidnapping children   
   or tracking stolen goods) is that you could kill the tag very easily with a   
   small EMP device. A modified camera flash like here:   
   https://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/wiki/RFID-Zapper(EN)   
      
   Is probably sufficient.
