She claws and attacks me everyday.

galloglaoich, I sent you a message just now somewhere (visitor's message or something) and I have no idea where it went! Anyway, here is my situation. I might be flying to Malaysia with my cat sooner than I planned therefore I am panicking a bit. Did you get an agent in Malaysia to sort out the import permit/paperwork for your cat or did you do it yourself from abroad?

Would appreciate your reply.
Hi Raspberries

I will find out for you about the paperwork required from the Malaysian Govt.
You have to remember that Malaysia is an extremely bureaucratic country.There are forms for everything here, quite a bit like Belgium.The process can become very irritating at times but that's the way things are done.I once fell asleep in the bank (30 mins)waiting for my number to be called just to pay in a cheque.If your cat is flying from Heathrow, I think it will cost you around 349 GBP all in one way.

I'll get back to you on the paperwork.

Bye.
