Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Thermo-chipping
I just read this in "The Cat" magazine, it sounds interesting. Taking the temperature of a pet need no longer be a headache for vets, thanks to a new implantable biosensor technology. The *Identichip with bio-Thermo* makes it possible to take a temperature reading in the same way as scanning for a microchip. The chip combines the usual identification technology with a biosensor that gives accurate temperature readings, and without causing stress to the animal. Ask your local vet for more information. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy, Milo & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. > I just read this in "The Cat" magazine, it sounds interesting. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Adrian (Owned by Snoopy, Milo & Bagheera) > A house is not a home, without a cat.

My vet offers this chip as well as the traditional one. Unfortunately, my gang have been chipped. Five were done last year :^( At this time, I don't think it's worthwhile having them re-chipped. Maybe I'll change my mind when next someone suffers indignity through having a thermometer up their bottom :^) Sheenah > The *Identichip with bio-Thermo* makes it possible to take > a temperature reading in the same way as scanning for a microchip. That would be a great idea if the owner had a scanner and could take the cat's temperature at home. I have never been able to take my cats' temperature. They won't stand for for it. But the vet has that magic touch and they don't even seem to notice when she does it. (Snort) I can see myself sticking a thermometer up Rowdy's bum and drawing back a bloody stump of an arm.....heh, it's always lots of fun at TED's when we go. : > The *Identichip with bio-Thermo* makes it possible to take : > a temperature reading in the same way as scanning for a microchip.

No more squirming and squalling, just a quick blip of the scanner and you know for sure :)  SignatureKaren AKA Kajikit Here kitty kitty kitty... visit http://www.catslaves.org!

There are those who liken the "national i.d." suggestion by USA gov't. - everything from a card carried on your person at all times (Nazi Germany?) to "microchipping" citizens at various body spots - to the biblical reference to "the mark of the beast" mentioned in Revelations. Three guesses as to what then logic concludes is the leader of our gov't. The ultimate forecast re "security" vs. "freedom". Not wanting to start a new thread here: I know people who believe this. They vigorously oppose microchipping hoomins for *any* reason as a "slippery slope". : Adrian had something important to tell us on Sat, 1 May 2004 14:36:31 : +0100: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] : sounds like it would be great for babies!

They vigorously >oppose microchipping hoomins for *any* reason as a "slippery slope". The idea of microchipping humans (even your teens) is way too Big Brother for me. I don't like it one bit. The first thing I think about *is* the mark of the beast, actually. My upbringing coming out again. Speaking of Big Brother, Hop, I am wired at the moment. With a contraption that measures my blood pressure continuously and logs it. I have to keep a log of what I am doing at 30-minute blocks of time throughout the day. I told DH, no hanky-panky because I'm *not* writing that down. It's just downright creepy, that's what it is.

A few years ago, I spent about two weeks carting around what's called an "event monitor" [I'd had a couple of odd blackout/falling episodes we were trying to figure out]. Very uncomfortable device to try to wear while sleeping. Signature"Don't mess with major appliances unless you know what you are doing (or unless your life insurance policy is up-to-date)." - John, RCFL Is it a "Holter monitor", or something newer? When I was in the hospital as a patient (both times) I was running around in the halls with one on after the cardiac cath lab work was done. What was going on that you have to wear this @ home? : >You've opened a can of worms.

It just monitors blood pressure, not heart rate. It's a cuff with a box attached, and it inflates every 20 minutes and stores a reading. It's a pain. Especially at night. OT Rambling Story: Last night I dreamed there was a big white cat run over in the driveway, and was in full-blown death throes. I was trying to pick it it, and everytime I touched it, it got bigger. Pretty soon it was as big as a calf. I knew the vet wouldn't treat it unless my name was Sandy, so I made myself a name-tag with "Sandy" on it. Point of this absurd story is, I woke up and the cuff was just going nuts. It wouldn't stop inflating. I'm sure the reading was off the scale.

I once had to wear one of those for 24 hours. It was a PITA. Hang in there, and purrs.

LOL, I don't think it's supposed to be a chastity device. :) I hope it's nothing serious that they're looking for. > Speaking of Big Brother, Hop, I am wired at the moment.

It's a chest strap and the display is on a wrist watch. Dennis has joked that we should wear it during hanky panky but I don't think it would be a good idea. What if one of us got a way higher heart rate than the other? It could lead to hurt feelings and fights ;-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

Mark of the beast? How about 1984? I mean the book, not the year. Or another totalitarian dystopia, "This Perfect Day" - remember that one? Ira Levin (author of Rosemary's Baby) wrote that one. People had to wear bracelets and put them up to scanners that read them to keep track of where people were. But who needs a bracelet when you can put a chip right into someone's body? Joyce |
