So I have a cat chipped 15 years ago, and she can still operate modern devices with it - open doors, get food from a robot.
Not all tech goes obsolete fast, there are legacy compatibility layers!
There are chips that make cats smart enough to operate doors and robots? That's so cool!
No, the doors and robots have to be smart enough to operate for the cat.

Please don't insult cats, it's cats who are smart enough to know how to use their chips! Robots and chips just react as they are programmed.
Cats are already smart enough, they just find it easier to access the technology using their chips.
I think human brain implants might be a bit more complicated than chips for pets.
Yeah but keeping them backwards compatible is gonna be much more important as well
