Assalamu alaikum,

It is my understanding that birds must keep their feathers clean to keep their water-resistant quality, as well as their insulating quality (this is called "preening").  As well, I know that otters, beavers and mink regularly clean their fur using their "musk" (oil) glands in order to keep the water-resistant quality of their fur as well.

But, I do agree - cats are special!

Peace, ummziba.

I love all animals, but I believe cats are special because they are the cleanest animal (they always clean themselves, especially my cat 'miau-miau'), and they are also among the most intelligent.

Is it true that cats are the only animal that cleans itself or are there other animals that cleans itself?

Aleykum Selam ve Rahmetullahi ve Berakatuh Sister Ummziba,

I had an one while i was going to high school,she has an one eye and there was an hole at the absent eye's place that everybody was scaring from him though it was really ugly a hughe one with her interesting colors also she was too old then i have discovered an secret beauty on it that she loved me too much,one day i have opened my eyes that there is an smooth thing under my head and  on the pillow it was she then i screamed...i began feeding her with the fishes which my father was loving to cook every weekend then she loved me more that one day we heard some interesting voices coming from the wardrobe,it was again she who gave birth on my mother's wedding dress that my mother had been protecting it for 25 years like her eyes,there was an hughe blood on the dress and 7 little cat was crying on she was trusting to me that chosen the place to give birth,i loved them but my mother got crazy....

The best thing is adopting one from the street then it will also be like zakat in the name of Allah as i had done to my squirrels they were on the way of death in an small box little childs were annoying them...the best one is adopting...Jazak Allah....

Hi Angel,

Do you trim your cat's claws regularly?  I cut Ziba's every two weeks or so, and have done so since she was a kitten, so she is used to it.  Never any scratches or cuts from her.

(P.S. - I once had a cat named Oscar - he was a black, brown and tan tabby!)

Peace, ummziba.

The claws on my cat, oh my god, they're a lethal weapon

And you know what, I had four other cats before oscar and I would get scratched (an hazard when having cats ) I would scar, but with this one, man I got a few scars
