I'm not crazy !

Infos
Name: Pünktchen
Location: cat-house of the cad aid organisation
Actual status: found a beautiful home

I was asked very often why his ears look "strange" and I can tell you that these are no ear-mites and luckily no skin cancer: In Germany we have a special system and what you see in his ear is a registration tattoo and the green spots on the top is the leftover of the tattoo-paste the vet has used.

Most of our cats here have those tattoos which contain a unique registration number. This number is known to an organisation names TASSO and the reason is quite simple: If your cat got lost (run away or whatever) and me for example would find her/him I would see immediately that this cat has an owner (what is not so obvious if a cat has just a chip, there you need a special reader). You can read the number, send it to TASSO and they can write a note to the owner that its cat was found.

The tattoo is given mostly together with the neutering (a VERY good thing to avoid cat-misery, so neuter your kitties ;-)) when they are narcotized so the cat does not feel it.

Dubbed Anime is like a nice pizza with dog poop on it. There still might be a tastey pizza underneath, but I've lost my appetite for it.

What a great idea with the tattoos and I totally agree with neutering. I've just had my girl spayed, best thing I could do for her, she's had one litter of kittens and is hassled by Toms, they ripped her ear!
Not to mention my boy gets hassled too because he's neutered they think he's a girl so its all fights.
