My cat isn't chipped - but she isn't an indoor/outdoor kitty. Although, had I had Ivan chipped - maybe I would have gotten him back.

We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Nathaniel doesn't really even go outside , but he will escape if he can , doesn't come when called and we have earthquakes. and while he has a collar -- it is something he can get out of. I tend toward extreme levels of responsibility when it comes to most things , including pets.

Well, 2011 is at least starting on a good note. I just ran the numbers and I think my bonus (the first in 4 years), will be about 25% of my salary, mostly due to my own project. It at least makes all the late nights and sales trips feel worth it. Now, I just have to last through March to get it.

He's definitely a pet person. And practical is not a word that I'd use in conjunction with most pets, esp. mine. She's definitely a luxury item. And she makes me happy.
Maybe start a hunt for a super cute collar?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not a pet person, so that might be why I completely don't get how you can value a pet but not want to take simple (and I'm not talking chipping, just wearing ID) step to protect an animal that's apparently at risk of wandering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, megan! That'll be nice - hope you can hang in there through March.
I think chipping the critters is probably a good idea, but I haven't done it. The cats do wander, and Walter will take off and roam the neighborhood if given the opportunity (I put a lot of effort into not giving him the opportunity, but...border collie brains) Maybe once Wednesday's new kitten vet stuff is done, which will actually be soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My cat was chipped as a kitten by the ASPCA, I guess, but I also guess that means it's useless now? Because I don't think the chip knows who I am, and it definitely doesn't know where I live.

Because books.
That's awesome, megan. You can totally hang in there until March.
We put a collar on Switch and he's never even acted like he notices it. We put one on Cortez, the stray who adopted us, and it lasted maybe a month before he worked it off. He's completely mellow about everything, apparently, but wearing something.

I know I can, I just wouldn't put it past them to get me out beforehand because they know I want to leave anyway.
