Are there organizations that handle the database of the micro chipped cats’ details – worldwide recognition? How many types of pet micro chip available in the market? I have heard of some microchips were unable to be read by some scanners, and it created issues for claiming and identifications.
From what I know, there are no details of parents DNA in the microchip DB. What do you think?

Oh yeah, for those importing cats from overseas, the cats must be microchipped right? So, what's the data of those imported cats?
