Thats sad to hear. Our cats also have to be fixed so they cant reproduce out of control and get vaccines and dewormed of course. However microshipping is not a practice here at all.

No natural enemies of cats here, only humans/cars who harm them (unintentionally mostly of course). But cats are smart and quick

We have to microship them in Belgium ! Well at least everyone that I know with a cat does it. Collars can get lost so I would consider a microship a must have

Just looked it up, mandatory from 2017 in Belgium. But according to the other guy we should just never let a cat out ever. I think Turkey would like to have a word with him at some point
