Most cats do not object to the carrier. They object to the carrier appearing five minutes before a car journey.

A vet arriving at your barn can only work as fast as the setup allows. Ten minutes of preparation before the truck pulls in saves considerably more than it costs.

The chip does not hold your phone number. It holds a number that points at a database entry — and that entry is only as good as the last time somebody updated it.
