Assalaamualikum I have a question about cats and dogs. Why do some Muslims Consider Cats cleaner than dogs? Also, where does it say in the Quran that it is permissible to have cats as pets and not dogs and/or that cats are cleaner than dogs? Is it specified in the Sunnah or are there specific Ahadiths to support this idea? I am curious. I am on a quest for knowledge about Islam and house pet (My quest for this week!) |

Assalamu alaikum, Sister Farrah, there are ahadith about cats on page one of this thread (see Br. Mockba's and Sis. Mishmish's posts). There are ahadith about dogs in the dog thread. The fact that cats are considered clean and dogs not is not in the Qur'an (you won't find specifics there about many things, that is why Allah gave us further instructions through the Sunnah of the Prophet). This information comes from the Sunnah. For more info. on ahadith, see the "Qur'an and Sunnah" section of the forum - there is lots of good information there about these. By the way, pigs and dogs are considered unclean because they both eat excrement (their own and others)! Hope this was helpful. Peace, ummziba. |

Bismillah, I know some people will eat or drink after their cat or other animal, but I wouldn't unless I was literally starviing or dying of thirst! I love cats, but they lick their buts, you know! |

This is another article I found. It always makes me cry. I must be in a sad mood lately.... Boy, the Story of a Feral His eyes opened. He stretched, sniffed. The air was very warm and heavy with a storm, but it was morning yet. The storm wouldn't hit for another three or four hours. He still had time to get his chores done. He stretched again, shook his tired head and started out. |

I LOVE my little cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her name is Cotton, and she weights about 6 pounds (she looks like a kitten, though she is 5 years old. She was a stray) She is very fluffy and sweet, and does her happy feet all the time. She had white and brown fluffy fur, thats why her name is cotton. She will lay on my prayer rug and meow at me but shes mad at me, she will sneek into my room and mess up the prayer rug until its a ball! But shes very demamding, in and out of room all the time, and when shes mad, I will know it because she wont speak to me. She also claims the outside wall of house to the 2nd story, and has her own brush and bed becuase she doesnt like sharing with out other cats. I think I should put her on the fancy feast commicals. |

Bismillah, My mom brought a tiny, adorable cat by that someone was giving away at the store. She is a puffy little black ball of cuteness! What a joy she is running all over the place and chasing every little thing. I think I'll foster another cat. Peace |
