Two days ago, I visited bhayangkari (policeman’s wife). She has a cat, and this cat is doesn’t have one of his rear leg. She said that he was born like that.. Masha Allah..
I interested to touch the cat and flatter him. But then she told me not to touch cats, they have a virus that can make our baby (if we are pregnant) defective, and autism. But I told her that the virus actually is come from the vegetable that aren’t wash cleanly and from half cooked meat. But I see her still in her opinion, and I just smile and silent.
Then.. I remember my friend’s link on her wall on facebook few days ago. The title of this article is the reason why Rasulullah really love with cat (but this article is in Indonesian). In that link the writer said that cat actually clean. They are more clean than human. Also, we still can ablution (berwudhu) by the water that have been drink by cat.
And a few days ago, I discussed this with my brother. I said to him.. “I think it’s impossible that cat has a virus, because people said that Rasulullah really loves cat (I never heard hadith about cat). There’s nothing bad and wrong of his behavior. He is the uswatun hasanah.
Like dog, do you know why dog is haram in Islam? It is because dog is full of parasite that just can be sterile by water and soil. That’s why they are haram and if we touch them we must clean it by water and soil. Islam is so perfect ♥ . Back to the cat story, because of they cleanliness makes Rasulullah said that they are house’s jewelery
