I've never registered any of my pets with the county/city either. I know it's the law, but they don't really enforce it here unless you have an aggressive dog, problematic dog, or animal control picks them up. I too just don't like the idea of registering them with the city. Where I live they have this law that you can only have 4 cat/dogs per household which I think is stupid. I have a dog and 2 cats and my roommate has a cat so that's 4 in our household right there. I just don't think it's any of their business how many animals I have and all as long as they are being well taken care of. Plus I don't want to pay the fee to register them...I would rather spend it on other things. Lacy has been microchipped so being microchipped won't affect you having the register them or not. When I got Lacy and my new cat's rabies shots a few months ago my vet asked me if I wanted to get my county tag. They always ask that when you get your rabies since that means it's really time to regsiter them with the city. I always say no though and they never seem to care. I just really think it's a personal choice. I've found that more people don't register them than those that do. I guess it depends on how serious your city/county is about enforcing the liscense thing...
