Can Cats possibly see Jinns? (questions)

Assalamu'alaikum andalver,

Rasulullah Shalallahu "alaihi wasallam said:

"When you hear a dog barking and hear a donkey braying, it's a sign thay are asking for Allah's protection. Verily they see what you don't see. "(Narrated by Abu Dawud and Ahmad)

Rasulullah Shalallahu "alaihi wasallam said:

"When you hear a chicken's voice, it's a sign ask for grace to Allah because that chicken sees an angel, and when you hear a donkey neighing, then take refuge in Allah from satan because seeing satan." (Sahih, narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

Behavior of animals

When an animal sees something invisible, the animals will certainly behave strangely. Donkeys, cats and dogs are frightened at the sight of demons because they also have incredibly sensitive instincts of danger.

Based on Research

The words of the Prophet Muhammad came from centuries ago, but it turns out that scientists can prove it in real terms lately. A study from the Journal Public Library of Science ONE in 2010 and found and suggested that the chicken has an additional retinal cone compared with humans. This allows the poultry to distinguish additional colors and a phenomenon.

Joseph Corbo, a scientist from Washington University in St. Louis, said the ability to see the color comes from a special light cell found in the retina of the chicken's eye. These cells are allegedly able to detect different wavelengths of light.

The ability of the human visual system is limited. In this case it is actually different with the animal visual system, among others as mentioned above ie dogs, cats, donkeys and chickens. The view of the human eye is limited and can not see what is under infrared light or over ultraviolet light.

Thus, some of the animals can see with their infrared rays, while the demon itself comes from a genie (jinn) created from fire. It means, devil include in infra red scope. Therefore, the animal can see the devil, but can not see the angel except chicken (roosters)

As for the rooster is able to see ultraviolet light, while angels are created from light, meaning worth the ultraviolet rays. Therefore, the angel can be seen by the rooster.

This explains why the devil escape when Allah's Name is mentioned, the cause is because the angels come to the place when called the Name of Allah, so the devils escape. In other words, if the ultraviolet light meets with infrared in one place, then the infrared fades.

We often listen to the rooster crowing at the time between 02.00 - 04.30 which is the span of time for doing qiyamul-lail or tahajjud. Likewise, when the sun rises, there are many rooster crows, but not because of the sun but they see the angels who are praying for Muslims who have done Subuh prayer and sharing Allah's sustenance.

In another hadith narrated by Ahmad, 6/110; shahih)

"I once asked 'A'ishah about the prayer of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam in the night, then she replied:" When he heard the rooster crow, he woke up and prayed (shalat)"

Allah Almighty All-Knowing.

I have a more benign explanation, that your cat needs to get outdoors more.

Assalamualaikum brothers & sisters,

I'm from Indonesia, I'm new to this forum. I have 6 cats at home at the moment and one of them been acting weird.

I personally would identify myself as skeptic, I believe Jinns do exist but I don't think cat can see or interact with them.

One of my cat been acting so weird lately, and this is not the first time. Several time I noticed him acting weird into one of the painting we have in our living room. The painting shows 2 female dancing (traditional Indonesian dance) with their eyes on fire. One of the female is on her knee and the other one standing.

The painting is next to our bathroom door. Several time my cat stare at it, but the weird thing is as he walks closer as if he sees something under or behind the painting. He scratch the wall and try to climb the wall as if he was trying to reach or catch something. It looked to me that he tried to touch this unseen creature on the wall but then he stop and looks scared. He suddenly come over to my feet afterwards.

He did this confusing things several times. Several days before, I woke up around 3am and around that time he suddenly climbed the trellis and looked out of the window, I checked outside and I saw nothing but he climbed and looked outside the window aggressively (the curtain half open). Couple weeks before, he looked at the painting and start making weird voice like chanting, sounds like "tatatatatatata" he looked insecure and aggressive at this time.

I haven't heard or witnessed any hadith specifically discusses this topic. Based on what I know dogs and donkeys can witness jinns but nothing about cats.

If I witness this again I will record it and post it here.
