    The short version of her story ~ While my husband and I were both out of town, she got out of the house. Our cat sitter didn't look for her. She ended up being put to sleep at the shelter before we could save her.
    That just breaks my heart. My dog Fenway is microchipped. The new kitty I'm adopting will be microchipped (if she isn't already).
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    All of mine are microchipped. Since Katrina and the many, many lost pets left behind... I made up my mind that ALL of mine would be microchipped and they are.

    Also, I will repete Klingers story.. Klinger (my neighbors cat) is an escape artist and will escape any/every chance he gets. He got out in 2005 and Mike was beside himself with worry. He saw a cat that looked like Klinger at a house close by and walked up in the yard and asked the lady if that was her cat.... she said it was... Turns out, the cat was Klinger and another neighbor of ours walked right up in that yard and grabbed him and brought him to me. If this should happen to your cat, microchipped, you could PROVE it is you baby!

    Also, with as many natural disasters as there seems to be these days, being microchipped can PROVE that is your baby and hopefully help it find it's way back to you if you should be seperated.

    For sure Laura I would be horrified if something happened & I could not get my babies returned.. For sure my special needs babies like Taccoa & Buttons & Autumn & Yardleigh that have disorders.. Well they are all getting done within the next two Saturdays..

    ~~~Thank You Very Much {Kim} kimlovescats for the Grand Siggy~~~

    The Tubsters micro chipped as he has the right to go outside at least for the time being. If he gets hurt he stays in although as he sleeps a lot in the cellar he has an open door.
    And hes still a little on the dirty side.
    At least he can be identified if hes picked up.

    All of my furry critters are chipped. I've thought about getting Vlad done too, but most shelters don't check reptiles for chips...

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
