Cat microchipping now mandatory for ALL cats in England

How long before all humans must be microchipped?

I've tried it. McCain ones taste horrible.

I suppose there is the "if it isn't your cat, we'll take it away until the owner claims it, and if they don't, either put it down or give it to a cat sanctuary. You can then buy it back, but with a chip."

Aye sounds like the RSPCA version of Cat sanctuary.

Just remembered we had “ distillery cats” or perhaps distillery and maltings cats which were fed by the distillery so I suppose they would go under farm cats. A couple of them were domestic in that they came into our house which was distillery property but there purpose in life was to help keep rat numbers under control.

I bet they weren't MC'd.

We have a never ending stream of farm cats down the road from us.

Nasty things tbh and no way are they MC'd. A vet couldn’t get near the things to jab one in.

How about chipping all kids?

Many never even become litter trained.

In those days it was not regarded as necessary and they also hung around the workers bothy so partly domesticated.
