In yet another testament to the power of the microchip, a Scottish orange tabby named Tigger was returned to his owner this week after having been missing for two years.
He was found in Inverness, 160 miles from his Edinburgh home, and had been well cared for in the interim, weighing significantly more than he did when he was first lost.His owner, Carole Tait, said: “I’m absolutely ecstatic, when I got a phone call from the SSPCA the other day I didn’t think for a second it would be about Tigger. He’d gone missing before, but usually we’d picked him up quite quickly.
“However after a thorough search in the surrounding area, and a campaign of posters, including on the internet, we heard nothing so it’s just fantastic to know he’s alive, let alone have him back home.
“He’s just exactly the same as I remember him, albeit more than a little overweight – wherever he’s been he’s clearly been very well looked after.
“It’s so important to have your pet micro-chipped, I would strongly advise anyone with a pet to do his as soon as possible.”

Meowvalous confurmashun of how imPURRtant it izza fur we furs tooza be microchipped. I hopes da family pulled out da speshule vintage Scotch and bundles O’ Nip to celebrate Tigger’s return..
I’m glad he’s home…but it’s VERY reckless for any cat owner to allow their cat to be outside..JMHO.
Dis is the third micro chip success story we have read….maybe its time for us to have one….
