I don't really believe in microchipping people but for animals, I find it to be ok with me. Both of my cats are microchipped. As will all of my cats during my lifetime unless they find it is causing tumors in cats. For me, I would hate to loose my babies. They are my children and the thought of losing one is terrible as all of the cats of my past got out and were never found again. With this chip, I can verify that the cat is mine in case she is ever stolen and then recovered later. Shelters can scan for her chip in case she ever gets lost. Its almost painless (like a shot).

You can do as you please. I'm not trying to change your mind, but I am putting the benefits of this technology out there. As far as breeders go. They just want to make sure that the animals are well cared for and that the owner is willing to do everything in thier power to make sure the cats stay safe and at home. I've looked on breeders sites before that require that they get microshipped, spayed/neutered, kept indoors, ect. To me, that just shows they care about the animal and want to make sure you do too. All of my dogs and cats will have microchips.
