STORY ONE:
COMING UP IN OCTOBER: A Jungle Walk With Our Pets And Other Animals. May include a surprise visit from a VVIP!
Hey, what’s going on here?
Petpositive taking us all on a jungle trek with our pets?
Get outta here!
Some of the intrepid gang who went on a fact-finding excursion to check out the area. (The man with the cowboy hat is NOT Garth Brooks but Capt Karim.)
Not satisfied, a second trip was made to scrutinize the landscape and check for wheelchair-friendly conveniences.

Pet+ volunteers Sally Addington & Lynda Merican discussed with FRIM experts Elango and Norsham about issues to the latter.
Leave no stone unturned.
Especially in the loo!
With everything finished it was off—by car—to the nearest watering hole for ice-cream!
Our outing in FRIM will be made possible by a donation by the Association of British Women of Malaysia. The excursion will be led by Pet+ Special Adviser Lynda Merican.
During our walk, will we get to encounter these lovely creatures?

STORY TWO:
CAT CALL
HERE’S A BAFFLING tale to tell of a truly incredible cat: A cat in a US nursing home is said to be able to sense when its residents will die.
And the phenomenon is greatly puzzling doctors in Rhode Island where the nursing home is located.

And the phenomenon is greatly puzzling doctors in Rhode Island where the nursing home is located.
“Oscar” the feline has a habit of curling up next to the residents in their final hours.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the two-year-old cat has got it right in 25 cases so far.
So much so that the staff of the home now alert families of residents when he sits down next to their ailing loved one.

Oscar was adopted as a kitten at the nursing and rehabilitation centre.
The cat is said to do its rounds just like the doctors and nurses at the home, but is not generally friendly to the patients.

STORY THREE:
LOCAL COUNCILS MUST BE SENSITIVE TOWARDS THE ELDERLY AND THEIR PETS
The incident, which received wide coverage in the media, carried PET+’S call on all local councils to exercise great sensitivity when relating to the elderly — especially in cases where AAT was obviously at work in the lives of older persons.
The incident, which received wide coverage in the media, carried PET+’S call on all local councils to exercise great sensitivity when relating to the elderly — especially in cases where AAT was obviously at work in the lives of older persons.
PET+ subsequently took part in two animal forums related to the dog killings and other forms or cruelty to animals in Malaysia.
The first was held in Sept 2006 at the Pure Life Society, KL with Pet+ adviser Dr Chandra Muzaffar speaking on the topic of “Animals and Islam.”
Dr Muzaffar enlightened the audiences as to how very caring the teaching of Islam is towards animals of all kinds, including dogs.
The second event was at the SPCA Seremban forum in December 2006 in which the role of guide and service dogs for the disabled was highlighted.
