Pet ID Tags - ReturnMoi, Microchip, and GPS!
0 comments Published by Figaro the Therapy Cat on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 12:46 PMHi Veronica,
have you ever heard about Returnmoi pet tags? www.returnmoi.com/pets
Dear Julie,
I have never heared about these types of tags until todays. I researched the website as thoroughly as I groom my self everyday. I finded out that these tags are not a bad price (about $8 for a 2-years service.) However, I am not sure they are that usefuls. Our pet taggies are about $2 each and says our Mommy's number and address on thems. We hope if we get lost those tags will work the same way. The positives of ReturnMoi I thinked is that it says "75% of items returned" but that includes stuff with no tag too. As long as you have a tag we thinked you could get returned. Also, there is a prize included for someone who returns the pet. This prize is a good idea but it is not so great. The other positive is that it is anonymous. Howevar, for a pet, I thinked the person who finded you would still have to come take you to the persons whose house it is. You can't really mail a kitteh in the mails, that is silly. So it will not be anonymous.
One better solution for an extra-safe ID is a microchip. This is added safety because if you loses your collar and the pet shelters finds you, they can scan you and find out stuff about your identifications (since Kittehs can't easily carry wallets around with IDs!). Here is some information about microchips. Some literatures has said these might cause increase of risks of cancer but those risks are pretty slim and in rats. A place you can get a microchip is at Home Again.
They also have got GPS pet locators. These are much more expensives but are extremely reliables at finding your pet, as long as the collar does not disappear. Here is an example of a GPS pet locator by PetSafe. However this will be about $35 for the collar-ID and $200-$300 for the handheld GPS. Perhaps one can buys a program to use with an existing car-GPS and it would be cheapers. This is an option for kitties whose beans are very rich!!!
Love,
Veronica

Dear Veronica, i don't want to be rude but my new sister looks weird! where are her ears? i never seen another kitty like her. she said my big ears are cute. do you think she will try to steal them? - hello kitty
Dear Hello Kitty,
Please do not be the rude of kitties. It is the understandable that you are confusselled. I was confusselled as well when I saw the photograph of your sister. So I went on wikipedia, which is the good resource for online kitties because it is the free. Your sistar is a Scottish Folds kitteh. It is a breed with the mutation of ears, they are folded up! The first original Scottish Fold was a white cat (just like your sister!!!) named Susie, in 1961. Only one of her parents probably had folded ears because folded ears is the dominant gene. You should be pleaseded because this kind of kitties are very affectionante. I post a picture of your sister Mimmy for the readers, with link to your website (why is it still brokened???)
Good lucks,
Veronica
