I think so. If your cat gets out he/she can be identified if picked up by
animal rescue or if someone finds your cat and brings he/she to a vet. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

Is it worth it for a indoor only cat? DeborahY There is also now a "Bio-thermal" microchip availiable which as well as containing a unique number to your pet, also displays its temperature, eliminating the need for a rectal thermometer. This one costs about £30 in England. I also think microchipping is a MUST regardless of whether your cat is an indoor or outdoor pet, as you never know whether they may escape or be let out in a burglary. Chipping over here is also cheaper if done at the time of neutering. -- Badger Badger Badger |

Someone on one of these groups suggested that sometimes they can bother the cat. Is there anything to it? My cats do not appear bothered. Their collars bother them, but not their microchips. Now, inserting the microchip bothered them. That is a *big* needle! But not the microchip itself. My cats however were full grown fat moggies and had plenty of loose skin and fat to place the microchip in. A leaner breed like a Siamese might have more of an issue. - Elron |
