For anyone who's interested, my confidence in Avid Microchips has been vindicated.


Sunday afternoon, Precious got out through the fence (again)[1]. We're aware she can do this, we're trying to keep a close enough eye on her that if she does get out, we catch her before she gets more than a house or two away. Well, it didn't work that way Sunday afternoon. She got out, and I didn't realize it for too long. Ouch.

Irene got a phone call from Avid this morning - someone found Precious Sunday afternoon near 41st & Cedar. That's about three-quarters of a mile away. Precious is now home safe and sound.

[1] On the list of "things to be done" is fixing the back fence. It needs to wait for spring - we don't want to be digging fence-post holes, or digging up fence-posts, in winter in Minnesota!

Happy to hear it! Taiko (in the icon) has a chip of some sort; possibly from them. It (or the record it links to) probably doesn't have the right address or phone number, though. Must remind Katie about that.

I first read the pre-cut text as "my confluence in...", which for some reason I thought was some sort of an article in a fanzine, and you were linking to something where your position in said article had been vindicated.

Well, it made sense for a few seconds, anyway.

Wow, glad to hear that she made it home safe and sound!

I've been thinking about having my kitty "tagged". How terrifying of a procedure is it? (She's *very* high-strung when it comes to vet-things.)

It's about the same as getting their rabies vaccination?

The chip and carrier are about the size of a grain of rice - it goes into a syringe, the syringe goes between the shoulder blades, chip gets pushed out, away you go!

That makes me feel very good, because my cat Snickers and my mother's dog Baxter have Avid chips in them. Glad to hear Precious is home again.

My two cats are chipped, and Rita's one will be chipped next vet visit. It's very comforting, isn't it? Glad Precious got home so quickly. You remind me that I need to update address and phone number--right now the report would go to their vet's, not directly to me.
