I feel like this belongs in r/cathostage except this woman doesn’t know she’s a hostage (yet)

Cats are almost sacred for Muslims. I aporove.

Well for whatever reason, dogs are greatly stigmatized and seen as impure while cats are completely fine.

I read that it was the Virgin Mary; that’s why it’s why it looks like an “M.”

She has a cat now.

Resistance is futile

FTFY Islam doesnt teach towards hatred of dogs

It is in the Rubiyat that Omar Khyam cut the sleeve off his robe rather than disturb a cat sleeping there. They own us.

I'm saddened to know that a fellow human feared posts due to the (inconsequential, I wish) hijab & had to be surprised there wasn't a bunch of hate & insults.

While rational, justified & thus completely understandable - that still just undeservedly sucks.

Hopefully such things will change. Eventually.

Worldly people sharing knowledge of their experiences & truths are a good part of life.

Thank you.

Not hated but can't have them as pets unless needed

Not really hatred, there's that hadith about a prostitute being forgiven for her sins because she gave water to a thirsty dog.

But yeah in general islam believes that cats are clean/pure creatures while dogs are not so you can only have a dog as a pet if needed for things like seeing eye dogs or guard dogs or for hunting.

Mama. You are my mother!

Your lap is very warm, and your scarf can offer me protection😆

It's a good one!!! Totally appropriate! 🥰

For those wondering why the cat suddenly tried to bite her, watch the tail flickering back and forth. That means excessive stimulation (i.e. too much petting :P) and the cat is basically saying "ok that's enough, I'm getting mildly annoyed, just let me sit".

> Love of cats has deep roots in Islam.

And hatred of dogs, sadly :(

Good point.

I wish they were all merely sarcastic.

Just take the kitty home🥰

That's a woman
