That one time you didn’t realize that a video of you would go viral on social media…and you scratched your butt…a lot.

I love how cats go “hmm, you seem to have made a mistake, I’m definitely going to do the thing you just tried to stop me from doing 🤷‍♂️”

According to tradition, the Prophet Muhammad once cut the sleeve off of his robe rather than disturb the cat sleeping on it. Love of cats has deep roots in Islam.

Isn't there an important figure in Islam known by Abu hurayra? He was known to always have his cat around him.

Yup

He was known by the kunyah Abu Hurayrah "Father of a Kitten", in reference to his attachment to cats, and he was a member of Suffah. Later during the caliphate era, Abu Hurairah served as an ‘Ālim, governor, soldier, and Hadith auditor.

That kind of cat is always so clingy! The ones with black fur and white paws/nose. I love them

People always misinterpret a cat's desire for warmth as affection.

I was scared to look at the comments after seeing her hijab and the responses to wholesome posts I’ve seen that feature Muslims but I’m so pleasantly surprised!!

I work with a few kids from Muslim families. One of the main techs working with the kid called me worried because mom was doing prayers, and the kid decided to jump on her back and play with her.

Had to reassure her that if anything those kinds of interruptions would be considered a further blessing - and I basically cited how cats are revered animals in Muslim cultures. And cats are the undisputed champions of interrupting you at the most inconvenient moments.

Fzrit t1_j97k24q wrote

For those wondering why the cat suddenly tried to bite her, watch the tail flickering back and forth. That means excessive stimulation (i.e. too much petting :P) and the cat is basically saying "ok that's enough, I'm getting mildly annoyed, just let me sit".

Not really hatred, there's that hadith about a prostitute being forgiven for her sins because she gave water to a thirsty dog.

But yeah in general islam believes that cats are clean/pure creatures while dogs are not so you can only have a dog as a pet if needed for things like seeing eye dogs or guard dogs or for hunting.

I'm saddened to know that a fellow human feared posts due to the (inconsequential, I wish) hijab & had to be surprised there wasn't a bunch of hate & insults.

While rational, justified & thus completely understandable - that still just undeservedly sucks.

Hopefully such things will change. Eventually.

Meanwhile, ✌🏽✌🏼✌🏿

It is in the Rubiyat that Omar Khyam cut the sleeve off his robe rather than disturb a cat sleeping there. They own us.

The part of dogs being impure (their saliva and when they are wet, for the most part) is in the teaching, you are right about that. However, we are allowed to give love to dogs too, especially since they are a useful animal in safeguarding your house and livestocks.

I would say the stigmatisation or avoidance of dogs among Muslim would come down to the fact that if one were to touch a dog, you would have to wash the part of your body/clothes that touched the dog with special steps called sertu (as oppose to just running with clean water).

God knows best when He commanded that and thats reason enough for most of the believers.

The prophet Muhammed once had a cat fall asleep on his cloak so he cut that part off to avoid waking it

I have a black and white cat that does the same thing to me, sometimes he gets so fussy with me trying to remove him that I have to get my husband to pick him up and of course he hates that too.

I have a cat that i never gave her a shower for 2 years (she is indoor and it is advised to not give them showers as long as they are indoor and shorthair) and she smells divine, the white of her fur is so white, now imagine a human or dog that hasn't taken a shower for 1 month?

Cat spent half their waking time cleaning themselves

I mean damn it Pikachu must own a whole region now, with the amount of Pokemon he recruited.

Maybe Pikachu is planning to take over the world, and install himself as the king of all Pokemon, superior to humans.

What she's doing is haram. The prophet (PBUH) cut the sleeve of his robe off before waking up a sleeping cat.

(I'm not serious. But that is an actual Muslim story about the Prophet's love of cats)
