Tabitha is being spayed on Wednesday and I thought while she was under an anaesthetic it would be a good opportunity to get her microchipped. However, I remember reading something recently about the chips moving and possibly causing tumours? I can't remember where I read it, it may have been on the dog forum here or somewhere else entirely.

Tabitha's brother, Tigger, disappeared for five days recently and I wished then I had had him chipped. My cats do go outside, although only Tigger wanders, the others are all girls and tend to stay in my garden or back yard. One of them is already chipped as she was done before I rescued her but none of my others are.

I know many of your cats don't go outside but those who have cats who do are yours microchipped and, if so, have you had any problems with the chip?

hi i use to microchip animals , and in my knowledge they are safe and yes they can migrate but this normally does not cause a problem just makes it tricky to find when you scan them i do feel if they are going to be outdoor cats it is worthe having it done as there are sooo many cats at the moment that are lost and are finding it hard to be reunited with their owners

None of mine are chipped, but when you register your cats with FB they say all cats have to be chipped, looks like I will be having mine done too
I know a few people who have there cats chipped and they say there's no problems

I have had a microchip go missing, it may have migrated but after a lot of scanning we decided it came back out.
I would suggest that every time you go to the vets you ask them to scan for your chip to check it is still there.

I have had my 2 persians chipped and will be having kitten chipped when she is been spayed. My old cat isnt chipped but when i got her it wasnt as common for them to be chipped as she is 11 now. The persians have never had any problem with theres

my 2 indoor cats are chipped,no problems, but i would reccomend it be done when done under anesthetic.
