      that sounds barbaric. I get clipping on ferrals, but if there’s an owner… why take the effort?

        I think (without any research, just from vague memory) the ear clipping isn’t actually all that painful to the cat, and the benefits of an immediate visual identifier outweigh it. I wouldn’t even know where to look for a cat tat.
