Islam and cats

Feral cat in the courtyard of Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The cat is considered "the quintessential pet" by many Muslims,[1] and is admired for its cleanliness.

Unlike many other animals, such as dogs, Islamic Law considers cats ritually pure and that cats possess barakah (blessings),[2][3] and allows cats to freely enter homes and even mosques. Cats are believed to be the most common pet in Muslim countries.[1]
