I'd definately reccomend having your cat chipped - especially if she's prone to even short wanders! Microchipping involves a microchip (about the size of a small grain of rice) being inserted just under the skin (usually at the back of the neck/between the shoulder blades) by a vet with a needle - the animal does not need to be sedated. Although the needle can be a bit sore during insertion, as it's a bit larger than the needle used to give the usual shots, the discomfort is minimal and it's over very quickly. It is exceptionally unlikely that your cat would have an allergic reaction to the chip as they are coated in an extremely innate plastic.

It'll probably be around €60, at least that's what it cost to get each of my dogs done.
