Cats and Islam

Mum once had a cat when she left for the day followed after her and there was a road to cross and accidently got hit.

 

I ususally don't like leaving and letting the cat out when I go, I perfer putting him out the back and so can't see me but I know he can see from under the house. Lately oscar's been leaving out the front with me when i leave and i keep saying to him, stay out of trouble & stay home :), he does watch me walk down the street thou. It was funny one day when i left he watched me and when i was out of sight oscar went into next door and sat in the grass and continued to watch me.

 

I understand your aprehensions.

 

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with wearing gloves, I would probably wash my hands thoroughly afterwards anyway.  

 

Or maybe train your cat to 'go' in the garden. They cover it up themselves . . . and so wont leave any gross 'reminders' :p Then you wont have to bother with litter and cat-poo.

 

Though I would suggest not worrying too much abt it, as long as u don't directly come into contact i.e. wearing gloves etc.

I have heard this too.  My father said he cleaned the litter box when my mother was pregnant.  I suppose I will have to convince my husband it is in our best interest that he clean the litter box if I become pregnant inshallah.  I wonder what he is going to say for that.
