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?
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

Love her fierce expression.

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.

Jesse, I think you can get in touch with the maker of the chip and have your details updated. If you don't know who made the chip - get in touch with the ASPCA. They should have the information. Or just ask you vet to scan your cat the next time you go in - that should get you the information you need too,

Oh! Well, none of that, megan's work!

Yeah, I'll see if I ever remember to do that! The odds of my cat getting out now are extremely low, given I'm on the 4th floor and there is no fire escape or anything....
