Has your cat been microchipped as from today you could be fined £500 in the UK if not ?

No cat right now but I heard about this on the radio.
They said the chip doubles the likelyhood of a pet being reunited with their owners if they have it done. I don't know if they meant cats or just pets in general.

That would imply ownership nobody truly owns a cat the cat lives with you the cat is your roommate and as long as you provide for the cat the cat will allow you to stay so maybe it's you that needs to get microchipped.

I personally think it’s a disgrace to force people to do this on their pets. I got my dogs done and regret it now. 😞

You know we are next, that’s why they do this.

It's not always helpful as many owners don't bother updating phone numbers or addresses.

Yes, but he's a long way from the UK.

A friend of mine had a cat that ran away they were feeling kind of upset so I thought I'd give him some good news. I said hey the cat found someone more pathetic than you are. He gave me a dirty look and rolled his eyes....

Time they were treated like dogs and not allowed to stray. I'm fed up with cats using my garden as a toilet. I don't blame the cats, if I did there'd be a lot of dead cats, I blame their totally selfish and inconsiderate owners.

True, but if the cat isn't micro chipped, then how are they going to prove it's your cat?
