Even if the cat is only an indoor cat, GET IT CHIPPED. It takes a few minutes, the cost is minimal and provides so much peace of mind. Either at home, or especially with going out of the country, when the cat will be stressed, it COULD get away from you when it is in an unfamiliar place. Get it chipped. Period. Doesn't matter whether the airlines require it or not.

Correct. Cost is minimal Some rescues will do it fo $10 and many vets for $25 or less. Be sure to register the animal with the organization sponsoring the chip. This can be done online and will put the animal in at least one database.

I brought a cat back from St. Maarten. You will have to take it out of its carrier, and mine got loose in the airport. I was lucky enough to catch her, but I got terribly scratched. Later, I found a leash thing that wrapped all around her body and she could not get loose, kind of like a thunder blanket. Check with your vet. Oh, yes, you might sedate her also.

I'm missing one of the few places where naked times on the beach and dancing at night exist, Chipping a cat? Huh? Microchipping for identification.

Your Cat's microchip can’t locate her when she runs away but can be used to buy catnip at the grocery store and by the time the grocery realizes it was a cat purchasing the catnip the feline caper has used wit and paws to escape. Seriously the chip just has info about the owner to contact if the cat is lost.... There are GPS tracking collars for animals, perhaps this should be considered.
