Well the first question really is, where are you going to put it? It would be too premature to think of the ID tag if your kitty is only a few weeks old and is content with moving around the house. Aside from the fact that there is no urgency in putting an ID tag in your kitty because he will not wandering for some time, there is also the matter of where to place the ID tag because it would look odd to put a collar on an eight-week-old kitten.
You will know that it is time to put an ID tag in your kitten the moment it ventures outside and starts prowling around your home. There are many tags that are available that will be just right for your kitty.
There is a broad selection to choose from, from the simplest to the classiest. Classy or fun is an open choice, but there are a few things you need to think about with the information – if the tag is engraved, then the information is there permanently (well until you change it for another one, if you move for instance), but an ID tag where you write the information needs three things – firstly a permanent ink pen so that the information doesn’t wear off or fade, the information must be clear so that anyone reading it can understand the address or telephone number, and it must have some form of waterproof covering so that snow, rain and puddle damage can’t erode the information.
An ID chip may also be implanted in your kitty by a qualified veterinarian. This can be done purposely or at opportune times – during examinations or when undergoing a spaying procedure. ID chipping means that there’s no possibility of your cat losing its collar and becoming ID-less, all anyone needs to do is take the kitty to the nearest authorities and they’ll be able to scan him and have you traced in the least possible time. While many consider an ID chip as the better idea, not all like the thought and would rather stick with the tag, which is entirely at their sole discretion.
Whatever the kitty owner’s preference is, what will matter is that the cat should have an ID on him to avoid any problem and anxiety in the event that the kitty will stray too far from home and is unable to find its way back.
