Microchipping is a better bet than a collar. Most cats have safety collars, which allows the collars to break if the cat becomes caught on something (preventing injury or strangulation). If the collar breaks, then their identification is gone too.

Microchipping is only as good as the person who finds the cat. There's a LOT of people out there who do *NOT* know that most vets can scan for a chip (in addition to ACC and HSI), even emergency vets have the scanners, so a pet can be scanned 24/7. This is why my cats have both collars that have tags with their names and my phone number in addition to the chip. They may break away, they may not... I prefer having two methods of possible return since not everyone knows about microchipping.

I am also micropchipped and I carry my microchip tag on my collar. All mom's pets are microchipped.
