Well, if you are, then you should register your pet and get an animal passport.
“What’s an animal passport, you ask? Well, it is actually an initiative that was launched back in 2010 to help with disease control, improve the animal traceability system, promote pet ownership responsibility and promote awareness in animal welfare. The service has recently come to light after Twitter user, @ShazGhaf, decided to share his experience of registering his cat, Pablo.

According to the official Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia website, the pet passport is an official document of the Malaysian Government under the Malaysian Animal Traceability System (MATs) Project. The passport is not only for cats but for dogs, rabbits and horses too, and owners need to only pay a small fee.
