Ribh's D'Coopage

[micstrachan]

For me it’s too much of a guess to aim for your interests. Cats pictures? Ribh’s well being? Mugs? Saying hi to everyone in this thread? Aussies? Awsome members?
You now if you read from 6 weeks back. It’s not that difficult to look for the 3th of December and read from there.

Yeah, I am grateful this is a slow moving thread and mostly caught up.

Hey Michelle! I can’t keep up on Bob’s thread anymore so it‘s nice to see you here.

Every cat in the Netherlands will soon be required to have a chip. Minister Adema of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality wants to find the owners of lost cats more quickly. It should also become easier to help stray cats without owners.
The chip requirement will in any case apply to house cats. For stray cats it is of course more difficult to make mandatory because they don't belong to anyone.

Track down
According to the ministry, there are about 2.9 million domestic cats in the Netherlands. About 60,000 cats are reported missing each year. With a chip it is much easier to trace owners.

Under the fur
Microchipping cats is very simple. The vet only needs a few seconds. A tiny chip is 'sprayed' under the fur with a hypodermic needle. The number of the chip can be read with a special chip reader. And in a database you can see to which owner that number belongs. Many cat owners already do that.

It is not yet clear when the new rule will take effect.

I'm very surprised. It's been mandatory here since 2012 .
I have not done it for my cats though .
In our village if they get lost and a human finds them he will know they are ours.

Mine all have chips. It seems to be the practice here that animal shelters chip the ones that get adopted. Or sometimes the vet does it at their first visit.

I like this idea. Collars on cats are dangerous. Now they will know to whom a cat belongs.

Mine are also all chipped. I want mine back if they get separated from me.
