My cat ate (part of) his fitness tracker

I live with a six-month-old cat named Pretzel who likes to sprint from one side of my
apartment to the other, and sometimes pounce on me with his claws out along the way. He’s the first pet I’ve ever had, and living with him is mostly a joy. But because he’s my first pet, I’ve often been really uncertain of what to do: am I feeding him too much or too little? Do I actually need to brush his teeth? And what do I need to do to make sure he stays healthy?
That last question had me pretty interested to check out Poof, a fitness tracker designed for cats and dogs. Poof has two models — a rechargeable pill-shaped option, and a larger battery-powered version — and the company sent me both to test out. So I wrestled my cat’s collar off him, clipped the pill-shaped tracker on, replaced it, and waited for the data to come in. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/12/16455026/poof-pet-fitness-tracker-review
