Reply to Love for cats everywhere by SunnyBen6321
Fun fact, cats have a special place in Islam. They are (one of?) the only animals considered clean enough to be conspired suitable as pets (in the house).
Even better, they are seen as clean as people are after they do the ritual washing before prayer.
Probably different views on this per region, but in any case, Muhammad was a big fan of cats. He wouldn't even shoo them away during prayer.
I think some local folklores even say that cats are the witnesses of God. They will whisper your deeds in God's ears at your moment of judgment.
Not religious myself, but I found this interesting when I found out.
