But Jac yours was a different sort of "lost" to the average missing moggie. I think chipping is a good tool.

I'm guilty of not having mine chipped. But if Darcy gets the all-clear tomorrow at his stitches out appointment, I might just get him done there and then.

Thanks for the pointers Smudgely - we're all full of good intentions but sometimes they just never quite materialise!

Microchipping is by no way a guarantee you'll get your cat back - but if the cat is found or taken somewhere & scanned there's a good chance of getting the cat back.

Stolen cats are often sold on, but if the new "owner" takes the cat to be microchipped, the person should routinely check for a microchip before inserting the chip - therefore if a chip is found - BINGO!

Never heard of cats being tattoed Dawn.

Out of 6 Borders I had tattoed, 3 were unreadable

Although I think it is a more "obvious" way of ID & easier to spot.

Where are cats done? Ear?

Mine are chipped but none of mine wear collars and probably never will.

I've never heard of cats being tattoed either. The chap over the road from me has GSD's and they are tattoed I considered it for the dogs but heard people cut off ears to remove the tattoo
