I don’t let my little ones outside… Too many raccoons and too much traffic in the area. So, I’ve never considered the chip. I do have two that sometimes exercise their magic powers and get past someone coming in. But, they generally just make one trip around the house get freaked out and beg to come back in.

My parents just got two new cats from the pound and they came to them pre-microchipped. I don’t know if that is a new policy by the pound or if those two were just lucky.

Hello
It is interesting to read about Pet microchips.You have described about it very well.I think this will be very useful for our pets.I will also ask my vet for my kitty.Thank you very much for this informative post.

I would hate for one of my pets to go missing. This is a no brainer.

Getting you kitty chipped is probably a good idea. This is perfect especially if your pet loves to have a short stroll outside. This is perfect as an added security to both pets and owners.

Dear Christie,
It is wonderful to hear from you!
I have been visiting your blog for always when am online.
I have recently returned from a long trip away from London.
My parents cat was microchiphed when she was quite young.
One thing that strikes me about the microchip is whether they affect the cats own energy, in turn causing them to react in ways which perhaps may not be true to them. The matter of the fact is there won’t be any visible way of knowing this, as we’ll be perceiving the cat as is and the cat will know whether it’ll be affecting them, but perhaps they won’t have any way of communicating that to us, or they may not even know themselfs that the chip is affecting them. As you see there is perhaps a lot than meets the eyes with this. My parents cat is a crazy cat, so we won’t have any way of examining it at all anyway.
I hope it all works out, whatever you do with your cats.
Hope you are well! And would be good to hear from you.

That’s pretty interesting. I would be interested in one for my dog, Sadie. She won’t leave the yard, even the front yard where we have no fence. She’s very smart and learned that as a puppy. I do worry about someone grabbing her though. We never let her out front by herself but it’s still a concern. I wonder if they have a chip that uses GPS like a lowjack for pets or something. If they do I bet it’s an expensive purchase. If they don’t someone could get rich making one.

Our cat, Sparta, has never been out of our house other than trips in his carrier to the vet. If we leave the door open he just sits and looks outside. If he ever did go out I would worry because, like you, I had to take his collar off. I have Grandsons and the youngest kept taking the collar off and I didn’t want to loose those tags so I have put it up until they all out grow that stuff

Good post. Even if your cat never leaves the house it is a good idea to have your pet microchipped, just to be on the safe side!

I guess it won’t be long until we all have to wear these microchips under our skin too… we won’t need to carry our ID anywhere we go..scary

I was reminded of my lost cat months ago, if I just “chipped” him I would have found him and knew that he was in my front neighbor’s house. I would have divulged that our front neighbor was a catnapper.
