Visited a Muslim country once and will never forget walking down the street once to see a cat crossing the street.

Cars on both sides of the street halted to let this cat fully cross from one side to another. I watched the entire scene like :dwillhuh:. It was like watching one of those videos where cars halt for a mama duck and her ducklings.

Except this was one cat...:obama:

I couldn't help but muse how this same kitty in the USA would likely have just become street pizza.:mjcry:



Blew my mind though.

"A woman went to Hell due to imprisoning a cat in the house. She did not give it any food and did not let it go out and eat the insects on earth." [Bukhari, Bad'ul-Khalq 17, Shirb 9, Anbiya 50; Muslim, Birr 151, (2242)]

The Islamic prophet Muhammad always loved cats. His favorite feline of all was Muezza. Muhammad was so attached to him, he'd let the cat sit on his lap while he gave his sermons. He'd even drink water that Muezza had previously been lapping up [source: Islamic Information Portal].

There are several well-known tales about Muezza. One says that the cat saved Muhammad from the deadly bite of a venomous snake. Another relates a time when Muezza was asleep on Muhammad's robe when the call to prayers sounded. Although most people would have simply shooed away the cat, Muhammad instead cut off the sleeve of his robe so Muezza could rest in peace. He then stroked Muezza three times to grant him the ability to land on his feet under any circumstances, and also gave him seven lives.

Today, Islam instructs Muslims to revere cats. In fact, mistreating a cat is considered a major transgression

Yet the same can't be said for a woman. :francis:
