There are many reasons cats should get microchipped. Every cat is different and, this is even more important to consider if you have indoor cats - not every cat will faire well in an outdoor or ‘wild’ environment. This is especially true if you live in an urban area where there are cars, toxic waste, and many other dangers that cats will likely get into. It is responsible cat ownership to keep track of your cats whereabouts and its status (such as if it is injured and brought to a vet clinic). Cats born and raised in captivity are NOT wild animals and should not be treated as such. Yes, give your cats freedom and space, but be responsible and consider that they WILL get into trouble and dangerous situations on their own. Microchipping ensures that your cat has a higher chance of being kept safe.

@@hazyfeelingwell the only purpose of this chip is to identify the pet, if this was to keep him safe, we should be able to track him by satellite to locate him asap... which isnt the case

@@4kushh only reason is some people make money from sales of these chips. I don’t see any other reason behind this. I have a indoor cat she never goes outside. What is the point of chipping her? Im really worried about side effects of this procedure too. Not every cat owners are irresponsible so that they abandon their cats. This is obligatory tho.

@@hazyfeeling I don’t leave my cat outside and never abandon her. So why Im supposed to microchipped my cat? Why this is obligatory? Is this safe for cats? How many research they have done before employing this? I have so many questions. Top of that, it is obvious this all benefits to people but not every cats

@@know7203 yeah i agree with you, my point was that if i really wanted to chip my pet itd be for safety to locate him (as mine has escaped already a few times) but we cant so yeah, microchipping your pet isnt really for the pet's safety but for "authorities" safety...

vets can scan it to find out details about the cat such as address age owners number so like if they gey lost

@@aisha4795 Don't need the chip for that, the cat didn't want to return back home. Take animals rights away.

⁠@@Shannon-v3fthis is one of the dumbest things I have ever read and I truly hope you don’t have any cats Cats that get lost without a chip have like a 5% chance of being found. Get them chipped so they don’t end up alone, scared and lost. So irresponsible

@@MorganTheGorgon I'll take irresponsible because animal belong on the wild in the woods not your pets.

to control the cat's mind through satellites.

It’s just to ensure the chip is properly imbed into the scruf of the cat yes it’s the same size for dogs, yes it’s a real cat that is a hairless Spinx cat, and the cat was under surgery the mask provides a anesthetic that puts the cat to sleep a d the band around its neck is to keep the cat from moving

There are different microchip brands. Some of the mechanisms are bigger than others. This is a common size. This is a real cat. It was scheduled for a surgery. The tight band is a "strap" used to secure the endotracheal tube in place. The cat was wearing the collar when it came in.

I think the machine in the background is a give away that the cat is in the surgery room? And also looks like the cat is sedated.
