microchipping

[Immi666]

i want to get Gadget (my cat) microchipped. does anyone know what it involves for her? is it an invasive thing, or just like an injection?

[fat rascal]

the chip is injected into the fat on the scruff on the back of the neck, she should be ok with it,or hold a grudge for a day or two just to make you feel guilty!!!

forgot to say Immi... loved the name Gadget, thats a really nice name.

thanks rascal :) she holds a grudge with me constantly anyway, so it wont make much difference

I know someone with a cat cat called Gizmo. They should get together!

janeo! my original idea for gadget was Gizmo, but my sister had a stuffed Gizmo and refused to let me use the name.

My very grumpy cat detests the vet with a vengence but when she was microchipped she didn't notice a thing. It's just a little injection in the scruff of the neck.

Gadget will be fine, I have my 2 cats chipped( Ronnie & Belle ). One I only got done last week ( Belle is only 6 months old ) and she was fine. Better to be safe than sorry Immi.

I think its should be mandatory for all cats and dogs to be chipped. At least any poor animals that had suffered at the hands of cruel owners - the owners would or could be proven and prosecuted..... Whats your thoughts on this AB?

Ronnie, i internalise my anger alot. If people annoy me i keep it to myself. The only two times I've ever gotten angry with someone is when I've seen them abusing an animal. One of them was my mother who was of the opinion that the only way to teach a puppy not to jump on the sofa was to smack him hard across the head. I totally flipped.
