My parents made the mistake of not giving a previous elderly cat a collar or a microchip. So when she decided to not come home one day, well, we never heard from her again. If I get a cat of my own, it won't just be a microchip; it won't just be a collar. It will be GPS. There's no way I'm going through the hurt that the loss caused me again. Not like that. She was a great friend since I was a very young child. Not knowing what happened to a pet is quite painful. I'd prefer closure, even if the truth isn't nice.
