This is a bit of a long story but I'll try to condense it.
I was using an Airtag around my cat's collar. The cat got lost a month ago. We didn't get any hits until a few days ago. We've pinpointed it to the rooftop area of a nearby building that has a few small radio towers on it (it's a sports club building with an indoor basketball area, racketball courts, etc.).
Today I climbed up to as close to the top of the roof as I could (it's a tile roof that can't really hold the weight of a person) and couldn't connect with the Airtag. I can when I'm inside the basketball court in a single corner of the court that is just underneath where those radio towers are.
I'm now waiting on getting permission to fly a drone over this area (I can't because it's close to an airport so I need a certification, which takes days where I live) to look at the top of the roof. I'm also trying to get a roofer to go up and look as well.
Here's my question: is it possible something is spoofing the Airtag? The building was built in the 90s and I wouldn't be surprised if it's transmitting on some frequency that Airtags use. Are there false positives with Airtags? Can I be 100% certain that the airtag is actually up there?
Please, any help would be appreciated. I've been worried sick about my cat for a month now, and at this point I just want this torture to end.
