When I'm daydreaming about living somewhere else, I like to check out the TalesMag website.

It has reports by expats of what it's like to live in various places around the world, including KL. They often talk about pets, too. You could have a look there to get you started. Most of the posters tend to be US embassy staff, but nevertheless, you might see something of interest.
