Hi Leslie,
You can (sort of) microchip your car - it's called LoJack.
http://www.lojack.com/
And even tho I have a cut-off switch on my car, I also have the LoJack
installed. If the car ever gets stolen, you call the cops with your
personal "ID" (which should be kept in a safe place in your house). The
cops then activate the small radio frequency transceiver hidden in the car
and have their own equipment to "listen" for your car.
I'm soooo glad both of your kitties are back with you, and I hope your
midterms go well too.

To leave the world a better place - whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or an improved social condition - that is to have succeeded. That only one life breathed easier because you lived - that is success.
