The simplest way, of course, is to scan them with a chip reader. If the chip reader cannot pick up a signal, chances are they have not been microchipped.

A less certain indicator is to check inside the cat's ears. Cats quite often will be tattooed inside their ears, so that the vet has a hope of finding the owner of a cat that turns up for treatment. If the cat is chipped, there is no need for an ear tattoo, and often none will be done. However, not all cats are tattooed even if they are not microchipped, and some cats have both an ear tattoo and a microchip.
