If you are planning on letting Lexie go outside I would definitely recommend having her micro-chipped and a collar if possible. The micro-chip is smaller than a single grain of rice and is injected into the cat in between the shoulder blades (the same area as a regular injection). If Lexie is ever lost and turned into the animal shelter or a vet's office she is then "scanned" and the office obtains a number from the chip. They then phone a toll-free number and obtain info about the owner. There are only two manufacturers in the world but the technology is fully compatible, i.e., one scanner can read both chips. It is a one time procedure and doesn't cause them any pain.

I usually have it done at the same time I get them spayed/neutrered. I have had both Emily and Tanner done, just in case they get out.

If you have any questions about chipping them feel free to PM me.
