We microchip all of our kittens for peace of mind. But apparently vets aren't obliged to sweep for chip numbers when a new cat comes into their surgery. Seems a bit of a waste of time to me.
I just noticed that you said that he's insured. Argh! Why does this make it ok to let him out on the road? It lightens your vet bills, but it doesn't lessen the pain or bring him back to life if he is involved in an RTA.
