I use an AirTag to track my cat and the location hasn’t updated in over 48 hours. I went to the last location update, walked around trying to play the sound and waited for an update but nothing happened.
I don’t live rurally and haven’t had this issue before. Any tips?

Your cat is in a location where there is not another iPhone within Bluetooth range, which is usually about 30 feet depending on physical obstructions. The last known location is the last time there was an iPhone within range to transmit the location.
AirTag locations only update when an iPhone is nearby. If your cat wandered off to a location where an iPhone is not nearby, the location will not update. While not a bad idea, this is why AirTags are an unreliable way to track your pet.
Although folks continue to use these Apple AirTags for tracking their pets, they are not designed for this purpose. As such, they are often disappointed and post here. Just saying.
If you want to track your cat in real-time, you need to use a tracker that is based on GPS technology, not Bluetooth.
Why is my AirTag not updating its location?
