I would guess cats would be more against a ring on their leg than the collar

As I have been told, microchip involves inserting a small chip under the skin between the shoulder blades, its about the size of a grain of rice I think. This chip or marker has a code that can be read by certain readers to give the code number which indentifies a database record of the pet, owner, location, maybe even a phone number.
