[JemBob]

i paided for the mirco chipping paided about £5 at the shelter, :roll: :lol:

[CJK]

thats cheap, my vets want 19.99 each cat

[JemBob]

dam think its £15 near where i am

[CJK]

it seems to vary a lot. hae you seen hose electronic pet tags? they seem HUUUUGe to me

[JemBob]

no aint seen them yet well have a look tho

[CJK]

saw in a cheap shop, it like one of them things you get at doctors that flash up your name in red lights, that idea (obviously not that big though lol) but i still think it ar too big for a cat

The electronic ones look huge to me, I won't be putting one on my Ninja. But I'm contemplating getting a tag like Oscar's got there with just "Ninja" and our phone number on it.

He's also been microchipped but you can never be too sure and a tag would cut out a lot of faffing for the finder.

Like your cat tag.

Misty and Chloe have that little ID tag with the kitty face!! So cute!! Not had mine microchipped. Around here they want about £25 per cat - they dont go out much at all so I havent had it done yet.

these electronic tags are little yellow things that you somewhere programme your detials into and it kinda flashes them up in LED. well, theyre not so little. I think theyre quite big even for a dog, so no way i would put them on a cat.

I put collars and tags on my two outdoor boys cos somebody was feeding them, and kept taking them in her house saying they were her cats as she "found them wandering around". (hence the microchipping too).
It seems to be working cos theyre both loosing a bit of weight. And i agree it saves a lot of faffing about if anybody finds them. the chipping is jsut in case they loose thier collars or somebody like a vet or rescue finds them.

well if anybody is near wood green (godmanchester) you can email the college of naimal welfare there and they will microchip ANY pets for free.

I'm not sure if other colleges do it, but it may be worth looking into if you can find a vetenary collegenear you. It means traineee vets do it, but theyre overlooked by a fully trained vet.
When we went my brother and SIL took thier 4 cas too, and the people doing the chipping were so lovely. But be prepared to go into a room full of people. I was expecting it to be one on one like at a vets, but there was this big classroom full of about ten people.

well worth it though

Violet has the same one - great taste!!!

Aww what a lovely tag. I bet Oscar really suits it. I don't put collars on my cats as they are Persians and it spoils the coat but mine are microchipped with this chip that tells their temperature as well, musch better for the cat.

[JemBob]

:lol: cool nah i like having both just incase i mean he neva goes outside but its just for safety

[Jac]

Thats neat, I really like that!
