She sent him to have the new kitten tattooed. She began to worry when he phoned to ask, a bouquet of roses or a two-headed Chinese dragon?

Okay, I don’t understand. Can you please explain, Jane?
Like sending someone to the market for bread and having them come back with toothpaste. 😉
I wondered when I wrote this whether getting pets tattooed in the ear for identity is still common practice. It used to be here, but it’s always electronic chip now.
Tattoos were not common for pets. More for livestock. But now, we too have the electronic implants available.
When you see a beautiful cat with big beautiful ears…and a great black number tattooed inside, you wonder if it’s worth it.
Glad we don’t require it in the US.

That is too funny. I do understand the pet tattoo concept – here and in England it was (and I think still is) common practice. By the way in parochial New England, The Bean had to have a licence disc and a disc stating that she has had her rabies shots. No microchip awareness there … she was like a blinged out rapper with her collar weighted down with gold plates!!
So if the cops don’t see the bling bling they shoot to kill? The tattoos are horrible, far too reminiscent of more sinister tattoos. If I’d paid several month’s salary for a pedigree cat I wouldn’t want to have its ear disfigured by inked numbers.
I imagine so …. poor pooch was up to date with Rabies until we wanted the get to board her …. ah! She should’ve had two vaccs at the get-go so now we have to give her another. It’s all about the $$$$$$ and go hang the consequences of overloading a creature with Rabies anti-venom. As for tattoos I’m afraid I can’t stand any of them but don’t tell my girls…. it’ll only encourage them to
We’ve been spared that so far, and the piercings thank goodness. They give me the shivers.
