Cats near the Mehmed II the Conquerrors tomb The cat is highly respected in Islam because of tales that the prophet Muhammad approved its domestication by one of his companions. This companion was nicknamed Abu Hurairah or Father of the little cat. In Islam, it is considered a commendable act to feed a cat milk. In a tale, when Muhammad was called to prayer he found his cat Muezza asleep on the sleeve of his robe; the prophet cut off the sleeve rather than disturb his cat. In a famous Hadeeth, a woman was doomed to Hell after she kept a cat till it starved to death. (Wikipedia)
