Take a look at SureFlap and OnlyCat. They use RFID chips in the cats.

Until the neighborhood bully gets a hold of a flipper and shakes down well cared cats for copies of their rfid chips.... sorry

A neighbourhood bully could do far worse things to a cat that involves little to no technology. One of many reasons why my cat stays inside.

Also for your own sanity, mostly. I always wonder if mine will come back each night. Thus far he hasn’t disappointed, but I’m braced for that day.

That said, some people vehemently argue that it’s abus{e,ive} to let cats wander the neighborhood, so thank you for not trying to tell others what to do. It’s become so common that I’m braced for it every time this topic comes up.

Seems more abusive to keep a cat indoors its entire life.

		keeping a street cat locked in the house is maybe about as cruel as to let a house cat roam on the street.
