Normal to feel microchip?

We can feel our eldest cats one but not the younger one. eldest is a semi long hair domestic moggy and the youngest is a British blue and is a real chunky heavy cat so possibly a reason we cant feel his!
If it scans, doesnt move and doesnt bother him then you have nothing to worry about :T

Why are you ashamed of having him chipped at PAH?

Not a big fan of them, and I personally would trust a store clerk over a qualified vet nurse or vet in terms of skill or ability. We only did it as it was the cheapest place at the time.

As the chip is injected under the skin it is perfectly normal to feel it. It is the size of a piece of long grain rice. I'd be worried if I couldn't feel it.

Once inserted the vet should always scan to show it's worked so even if I couldn't feel it (as I can't in the others) I'd still know it was there.
