Coinkydink

    (I can't remember which ex-girlfriend hated "coinkydink" and anyone who would say it. One suspects it was a short-lived relationship, or she got over the prejudice.)
    My friend Walt and I are both puzzled to have been adopted by young cats, both fixed (spayed in Walt's cat Mara's case, neutered in Harry's) but neither chipped. They are both very, very friendly, both willing to jump in a stranger's car having done so to each of us. So maybe they jumped into the wrong stranger's car and then couldn't get home. It's just a puzzlement that two separate owners would go to all the trouble and expense of getting the cat fixed (fairly great) and not get them chipped (fairly little). Also, the best time to chip them is when they're getting fixed, because it's a big needle and it's best to do it when they're unconscious already. All strange.
