Islam and cats

The cat is considered "the quintessential pet" by Muslims, and is admired for its cleanliness, and was a beloved animal to Muhammad. Unlike other animals, such as dogs, Islamic Law considers cats pure, and allows cats to freely enter homes and even mosques. Cats are believed to be the most common pet in Muslim countries.
