RFID Cat Can Has Tinfoil Hat?

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Meadow got spayed on Friday, and during the procedure, they also implanted her with the Avid Microchip Identification system for animals. I knew this was one use of RFID chips, though I didn’t realize it had become a common veterinary practice. Since Meadow’s an indoor cat, she doesn’t wear a collar, so it’s nice to have some extra insurance.

Of course, the geek in me wants my own cat scanner, even if all I’m going to get is some ID number. The Flo Control  guys could certainly do some interesting things with it…

I Have a Kitten!

My mouseMy new roommate is a bit furry and likes to hide in the corner and sleep :) After years of people telling me I should get a cat, I finally came around to the idea on my own terms. As luck would have it, a woman at work had posted a message about her litter of Memorial Day cats looking for homes. Meadow quickly warmed to me, and me to her, though after exploring and playing with the mouse last night, she found a really good hiding spot until this morning.

Pets are tough to photograph, even with my fancy new camera - these 4 are the best out of over 50 photos. You can view them in my new Gallery2 “beta”. I just set it up over the weekend, so it’s still missing some final theming, tags, etc.
