Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

SFGate's Patricia Yollin takes a break from the penguins to write about how an implanted microchip reunites a wandering cat with the man whose heart he broke 10 years before.
Chris Inglis took Wednesday off so he could hang around the house and play with his cat. After all, the cat had come back -- 10 years later.

Ted, the feline Inglis named after a character in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," completed an amazing adventure of his own when he was reunited with his owner a decade after vanishing from his Burlingame home.

Someone found Ted last week on El Camino Real in Atherton, about 13 miles south of where he used to live. The cat was brought to the Peninsula Humane Society's animal shelter, which tracked down his owner using a microchip that Inglis had gotten implanted in Ted.
Of our three cats, only Linus (the youngest) is chipped; he came that way from the Peninsula Humane Society (the shelter mentioned in the linked story). None of ours are allowed outside when we're not around, and even then they stay within the boundaries of our front or back patio. I think, though, that I want to have Watson and Rita chipped on their next regular vet visit. I have a LoJack for my car, and this is no different (except that I'd be much more upset to lose one of our cats than my car).
The linked article also has two pictures of Ted the cat.
